| dc.description.abstract | MUHAMMAD ADLI RESYA : Manufacture of Activated Carbon Using Palm Stem
(Elaeis gunensis jacq), supervised by SAIPUL BAHRI DAULAY and AINUN
ROHANAH.
Some research proved that activated carbon could be made from organic
materials that have very high carbon percentage. Biomass material from palm
plant can be used. The existing research of activated carbon from palm tree was
limited of palm shell. In fact, there are many part of palm tree can be useful, like
palm stem. Indonesia has been the largest palm plant country in the world with
6.700.000 ha areas in 2008. Palm stem has been abundant and can be used as an
alternative material to make its value higher. The research for preparation of
activated carbon from palm stem that had the best result was using by NaOH 0,2
M, activator wite 100 mesh and activation period of 24 hours. In industrial
process, activate with carbon is used for deodorizing, adsorbs taste, colours and
organic contaminant. Testing for active carbon in this research was based on
activated carbon quality standard Standar Nasional Indonesia No 06 – 3730-
1995. | en_US |
