Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of carbonization temperature and activator agent in making activated carbon, and also determine the optimum temperature, and best activator agent. The raw material used is kind of lignocellulosic like palm frond. The palm fronds cleaned and chopped, then it soaked in each activator solution include KOH, ZnCl2, and H3PO4 at room temperature for 24 hours. After that, palm fronds carbonized in the furnace at a temperature of 4000C, 5000C, and 6000C in 1 hour. Carbon washed by aquadest until its netral, after that calculated the yield of charcoal, moisture content, and absorption ability of the iodine solution. The highest yield obtained in the activated carbon which impregnated by ZnCl2 at the temperature 4000C which is 82,04%. The best water content of activated carbon obtained in the activated carbon impregnated by H3PO4 of 6% which is the lowest one. Activated carbon which has the largest number of iodine absorption was also obtained on the active carbon carbonized at a temperature of 5000C and activated by H3PO4 which is 767.745 mg iodine / g of activated carbon, and the value is in compliance with SNI.

Abstract

In this research, the bioethanol production unit using durian peel as raw material was designed with capacity process of 100 liters per cycle in batch process. The main equipments were designed fermenter and distillation unit. Fermenter tank was designed with 43 cm of diameter and 86 cm of height which was equipped with two manual paddle impeller of 30 cm in diameter. The other of main equipments, distillation tank was made of stainless steel with 48 cm of diameter and 54 cm of height, which was equipped with heater to heat the liquid of fermentation process and cooling tank to cool vaporised bioethanol. The time required for one cycle of fermentation with batch process was 7 days and 7 hours. While the time required for one cycle of bioethanol production with batch process was 8 days and 4 hours. The feasibility of bioethanol production unit in which consists of fermenter tank and distillation tank under condition process of 7 days and yeast concentration of 6% and distillation temperature of 80oC was tested. The results obtained were 8,98% of bioethanol concentration during fermentation and 74,96% of bioethanol concentration during distillation.
