Abstract

Carbon nanospheres (CNSs) merupakan salah satu golongan nano karbon yang terbentuk sebagai produk samping dalam pembuatan carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNSs memiliki ukuran antara 50 nm sampai 1 μm, dapat berupa bola kosong atau berisi. CNSs memiliki ikatan yang menggantung (dangling bonds) yang menyebabkan sifatnya reaktif. Dewasa ini CNSs banyak diteliti untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai support katalis, adsorbent, atau pun elektroda baterai dan superkapasitor.Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan sintesis CNSs dengan menggunakan support karbon aktif. Katalis yang digunakan adalah katalis besi yang berasal dari ferrocene, Fe(C5H5)2. Sementara itu minyak goreng digunakan sebagai sumber karbon pembentuk CNSs. Campuran minyak goreng, katalis, dan karbon aktif kemudian dikarbonisasi dengan menggunakan electrical furnace pada 700oC selama 1 jam dengan atmosfer nitrogen. Dalam percobaan ini divariasikan konsentrasi awal katalis 2,5, 5, 7,5 dan 10g katalis/100 ml minyak goreng, dengan rasio karbon aktif terhadap minyak goreng 1:3 (b/b). Karakterisasi produk menggunakan x-ray diffraction (XRD), analisa luas permukaan BET, Raman spektroskopi, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), dan xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Morfologi permukaan karbon aktif diamati dengan scanning electron microscope (SEM) dan transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Hasil analisa SEM dan TEM menunjukkan bahwa dari sintesis yang dilakukan, terbentuk CNSs, yang tersusun atas C(002) dan C(100). Dapat diamati pula semakin besar katalis yang digunakan, semakin banyak CNSs yang terbentuk. Seiring peningkatan jumlah katalis, peningkatan kandungan besi dan oksigen di dalam sampel juga teramati dengan pengukuran EDS, akan tetapi berdasarkan analisa XPS, tidak ada perubahan komposisi gugus fungsi di permukaan karbon aktif. Penurunan luas permukaan karbon aktif teramati pada setiap sampel dengan penurunan maksimum 50%. Hal ini yang mengakibatkan penurunan kapasitas adsorpsi saat digunakan sebagai adsorbent. Saat sampel 2,5g/100mL diuji dengan cyclic voltammetry sebagai anoda baterai litium, performansinya stabil.Kata kunci: karbon aktif, katalis besi, minyak goreng, CNSs

Abstract

Penggunaan ekstrak alami dari tumbuhan semakin luas dikembangkan dalam bidang farmasi. Keinginan masyarakat untuk kembali ke produk alam dan minimnya efek sampingyang ditimbulkan menjadi dua dari beberapa alasan yang muncul. Physalis angulata atau dikenal dengan nama ceplukan adalah tumbuhan herbal yang hidup semusim dan seringditemui tumbuh secara liar di beberapa daerah di Indonesia. Physalis angulata digunakan secara luas dalam pengobatan tradisional. Dalam pengobatan tradisional, masyarakat merebussemua bagian dari tanaman ini dan kemudian diambil airnya untuk diminum. Akan tetapi berdasarkan studi terdahulu, penggunaan air pada suhu didihnya kurang efektif dalammengekstrak tanaman ini. Oleh karena itu, dipilihlah pelarut berupa air pada kondisi subkritiknya (suhu diatas titik didih air sampai dengan dibawah suhu kritik, pada tekanan tinggi), karena air pada kondisi subkritik memiliki kemampuan mengekstrak menyerupai pelarut organik yang notabene dihindari pemakaiannya karena sifatnya yang toksik, karsinogenik dan mahal. Ekstrak yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan air subkritik pada suhu 250o C memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang tinggi akan tetapi memiliki bentuk yang berminyak dan padat. Sehingga untuk membentuk sediaan obat dalam bentuk bubuk diperlukan tambahan bahan pengisi (filler) pada proses pengeringan ekstrak.Tujuan khusus yang ingin dicapai dalam penelitian ini adalah (i) mempelajari pengaruh jenis bahan pengisi pada kualitas ekstrak physalis angulata (ii) mempelajari pengaruh konsentrasi bahan pengisi pada kualitas ekstrak dan (iii) mempelajari efek suhu pengeringan pada pengeringan dengan menggunakan oven vakum.Target akhir dari penelitian ini adalah diperolehnya sediaan obat berbentuk bubuk dari ekstrak buah physalis angulata dengan kondisi pengeringan yang tepat untuk mempertahankan kandungan antioksidan di dalamnya. Metodeyang digunakan adalah dengan ekstraksi menggunakan pelarut berupa air subkritik dan pengeringan ekstrak menggunakan oven vakum.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dalam range penelitian ini, semakin besar konsentrasi filler dan suhu pengeringan oven maka semakin baik nilai total fenol, flavonoid dan aktivitasantioksidannya. Filler aerosil terbukti lebih bagus dalam mempertahankan kualitas antioksidan dalam ekstrak.

Abstract

Heavy metals are elements which are produced in industrial waste. This heavy metal waste causes pollution to the environment if the content of heavy metals contained therein exceeds the threshold. The toxic’s properties are extremely dangerous for humans if it accumulates in the human body. One of the heavy metals that are produced  is chromium. Several chemical and biological methods to remove heavy metals contained in the waste have been found. The adsorption method is one of the efficient and effective ways to treat heavy metal waste. In this study, activated carbon was prepared from salacca peel. Effects of pH, adsorbent dosage and Cr(VI) concentration on the adsorption of hexavalent chromium were investigated. The results were analyzed with Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm models. And kinetic of the adsorption was performed based on pseudo first order, pseudo second order, and intraparticle diffusion equations. From the research, it is known that the optimum conditions for the Chromium(VI) adsorption occurs at pH 2. The adsorption capacity of salacca peel based activated carbons for the removal of hexavalent chromium was found to be 123 mg/g. And the best adsorption isotherm which can represent the adsorption equilibrium is Langmuir isotermal adsorption model. Moreover the data indicated that the adsorption kinetics follow the pseudo second order

Abstract

The preparation of activated carbon from salacca peels was studied by chemical activation with potassium carbonate (K2CO3). Salacca peels were firstly impregnated at a fixed salacca peel to potassium carbonate ratio of 1:2 and fixed potassium carbonate concentration of 10 %-w. The impregnated salacca peel were then carbonized in an electrical furnace at temperature of 800 °C. Macroporous activated carbons with a high surface area of 888.9 m2/g were obtained. The activated carbon was tested in the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous phase. The adsorption study was realized using batch experiments with synthetic MB solution with various initial concentration of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 ppm. The Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Dubunin-Radushkevich adsorption models were used for mathematical description of the adsorption equilibrium, and it was found that the experimental data fitted very well to the Langmuir isotherm. Batch adsorption studies, based on the assumption of a pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order or intraparticle diffusion mechanism, showed that the kinetic data followed closely a pseudosecond- order rather than a pseudo-first-order mechanism. The adsorption capacity of salacca peel based activated carbons for the removal of MB was found to be 405 mg· g-1. These results clearly indicated the salacca peel derived activated carbons as a potential adsorbent for removal of MB from aqueous solutions.

Salacca peels were firstly pre-carbonized in an electrical furnace at temperature of 500 °C, then the peels were impregnated at a fixed salacca peel to potassium carbonate ratio of 1:4 and fixed potassium carbonate concentration of 20 %-w. The impregnated salacca peels were then carbonized at temperature of 800 °C. Activated carbons with a high surface area of 1939 m2/g were obtained. The activated carbon was tested in the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous phase. The adsorption study was realized using batch experiments with synthetic MB solution with various initial concentrations of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 55 ppm. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin Radushkevich adsorption models were used for mathematical description of the adsorption equilibrium, and it was found that the experimental data fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm. Batch adsorption studies, based on the assumption of a pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order or intraparticle diffusion mechanism, showed that the kinetic data followed closely a pseudo-second-order rather than a pseudo-first-order mechanism. The adsorption capacity of salacca peel based activated carbons for the removal of MB was found to be 674 mg· g-1. These results indicated the salacca peels derived activated carbons as a potential adsorbent for removal of MB from aqueous solutions.

Abstract

Heavy metals contained inside water may carry negative impacts to humans and environment. The most effective treatment is adsorption using activated carbon which is obtained through chemical activation of snake fruit peel using KOH compound. The ratio of snake fruit peel to KOH (20%-w solution) used was 1:4. Snake fruit peel activated carbon with surface area of 2526  m2/g were obtained. The content of heavy metal ions (Cu2+) in the water were analyzed using spectrophotometer UV-Vis with NH3(p.a) solution which form a complex bound colored dark blue. Investigation was carried out by studying the influence of initial concentration (100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 ppm), pH (2,5; 3,5; 5), the amount of adsorbent (30, 60, 90 mg), dan temperature (25oC, 35 oC, dan 45 oC ) to obtain optimum condition with the highest %removal at initial concentration 100 ppm, pH 5, 90 mg adsorbent, and there's no significant differences by varying temperature. Adsorption isotherm studies indicated that Langmuir model fit better with maximum adsorption capacity of 687 mg/g and Langmuir constant for the variation of initial concentration and the amount of adsorbent were 0.0473 L/mg and 0.0296 L/mg, respectively. The kinetics of adsorption of Cu(II) followed pseudo second order.
