AnalisaKalsium (Ca) dalam Daun Kelapa Sawit dengan Metode Destruksi Basah (H2SO4 + H2O2) Secara Spektrofotometri Serapan Atom

Abstract

This study aims to provide information on how to analyze the nutrient content of Calcium (Ca) in oil palm leaves at the laboratory of the Medan Palm Oil Research Center. This analysis is done by wet destruction method by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer with wavelength (λ) 422,7 nm. The results of the analysis showed that the calcium content obtained from palm leaves in sample number 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 is 0,67% ; 0,71% ; 0,73% ; 0,69% ; 0,65% . From these results indicate that the levels of Calcium in oil palm leaves have sufficient nutrients in accordance with predetermined standards that is between 0,5 – 0,75%.
