Abstract

Penggunaan karbon aktif (activated carbon/AC) semakin luas seperti untuk reaksi kimia, adsorpsi limbah cair dan gas, serta sebagai katalis dalam proses katalitik. AC-tempurung nipah dan AC-kulit pisang kepok telah disintesis dengan aktivator kalium hidroksida (KOH) 0,5 M. Karbonisasi dilakukan dengan furnace pada suhu 300 °C selama 2 jam. Karakterisasi AC dilakukan dengan analisis kadar air, analisis kadar abu, analisis daya serap I2, dan analisis gugus fungsi sebelum proses aktivasi dan setelah proses aktivasi menggunakan FTIR. Nilai kadar air, kadar abu, daya serap terhadap I2berturut-turut adalah 1% ; 9,9%; 1307 mg/g (AC-tempurung nipah) dan 3% ; 7,4% ; 1777 mg/g (AC-kulit pisang kepok), memenuhi kriteria karbon aktif yang telah ditetapkan SNI. Hasil spektra FTIR AC-tempurung nipah dan AC-kulit pisang kepok menunjukkan adanya pergeseran bilangan gelombang serapan gugus -OH setelah aktivasi. Serapan gugus C=C aromatik mengindikasikan telah terbentuknya grafit.

Abstract

Used pots and beverage cans are good sources of aluminum-rich raw materials for the synthesis of potassium aluminum sulfate (KAl(SO4)2), a solid coagulant. The synthesis process includes preparation, dissolution, extraction, sedimentation, and drying. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the characteristics of KAl(SO4)2 synthesized from aluminum pots and beverage cans waste, adjusted to the quality requirements of commercial KAl(SO4)2 according to SNI 06-2102-1991 standard. The materials used were aluminum pots, as well as a mixture of pots and beverage cans, with varying concentrations of 20%, 30%, and 40% KOH solvent. The synthesis results, characterized by XRF (X-ray fluorescence), showed an Al content of 0.001-3%. In addition, the results of the data analysis, adapted to SNI 06-2102-1991 standard for potassium aluminum sulfate, indicated that the synthesis met the required parameters for water-insoluble parts, Fe, Pb, and As, and Al2SO3, which was close to the quality requirements.
