Abstract

This study explored a simple preparation and characterization of the activated carbon and cloth from the palm kernel shell and compared it to the commercial-water-filter-carbon specification. A new pyrolysis chamber that is easily scaled up using the palm kernel shell itself as a heat source was tested. Two different steps were compared: the alkaline activation process performed before or after the carbonation process in the palm-kernel-shell carbon preparation. The palm-kernel-shell activated carbons prepared with the current method fulfilled the standard quality of activated charcoal except for the ash content. The sequencing step of the preparation affected the adsorption capacity. Instead of the reverse sequence, the soaking palm kernel shells in NaOH before the carbonation process lead to a higher adsorption capacity. The carbon particle stability on the cloth surface was affected by both the adhesive concentration and its size. The ammonia adsorption capacity of activated carbon cloth (ACC) was between 1–4 mg ammonia per g stuck carbon. The preparation and the carbon type source on ACC affected the adsorption capacity. The ACC absorbed and lessened the skim latex odor vapor, nearly odorless depending on the ACC area and the volume of odor vapor.

Abstract

The most abundant natural resource on earth is sea water, because most of the earth's surface is covered by oceans. This resource can be utilized by farmers to reduce pressure on increasingly limited freshwater resources. As well as the increasing need for efficient and sustainable fertilizer. Sea water is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), which act as essential nutrients for plant growth. Utilization of sea water can be an effective alternative to conventional fertilizer. Students can introduce seawater as fertilizer for the community from an early age. This is a good step to take because students are still open to accepting new things as innovations in the agricultural sector. Based on this, this service aims to provide information to students about the benefits of sea water as a source of complete nutrition for plants. This community service activity was carried out on August 12 2023 at SMK Negeri 1, Meureubo District, West Aceh Regency. This activity was filled with socialization and education activities on making plant nutritional supplements using seawater solutions. Apart from that, there was also a demonstration of making plant nutritional supplements using seawater solutions. Based on the activities that have been carried out, these students show very high activity and enthusiasm. This can be seen from students' positive responses to reporting new understanding obtained after the learning process was completed. Carrying out this service will also help open up new insights for students to be more creative and critical in thinking about utilizing and protecting their environment.
