Actived carbon from teak wood, jackfruit wood, and mango wood pyrolysis process

Abstract

Activated carbon is one of the basic needs in food processing. Activated carbon can be improved from rock, wood and bone processing. This study aims to determine the quality of activated carbon pyrolysis processing from various woods using high temperatures ranging from 500-750 °C. The wood to be made into activated carbon is teak, mango, and jackfruit. Where teak, mango, and jackfruit are the types of wood used for fuel in industrial tofu boilers. The results of this combustion usually only become waste as charcoal boiler waste. The results of combustion contain carbon which can be used as this activated carbon. The quality of activated carbon is seen from the quality test based on SII and SNI. The results of the tests carried out that the best quality activated carbon is activated carbon which is activated by using heat at a temperature of 750 °C with a water test value of 1.01%, evaporator 15.12%, 2.3 ash, carbon-bound 82, 5%, iodine uptake rate 314.15 mg/gram, crystalline rate 40.886% with XRD analysis, pore diameter 8,72 μm, and chemical composition (% b) 95.94% C, 0.33% SO3, 2.06 % chloride, 0.49% K2O, 0.79% Calcium oxide, and 0.38% Cuprum oxide using SEM-EDX.

Biological Rotation Age of Community Teak (Tectona grandis) Plantation Based on the Volume, Biomass, and Price Growth Curve Determined through the Analysis of Its Tree Ring Digitization

“…The carotenoid extractive substances in teak are beneficial for natural dyes for fabrics [87,88], hair dyes [89], dye-sensitized solar cells [90], and natural pigments for textiles, paints, plastics, foods, drugs, and cosmetics [91]. Villagers also exploited teak wood for energy resources like charcoal [92][93][94][95][96], firewood [97], bio-pellets [98], and bio-briquette [99,100]. Its versatile usage keeps the demand for teak high.…”

Wastewater Treatment Bakery Using Active Carbon of Water Hyacint and Boiler Waste

“…Water hyacinth activated carbon itself has the ability to absorb organic compounds and inorganic compounds (Sangkota et al, 2017). Charcoal from the rest of the boiler combustion includes organic material so that it can be used as activated carbon and can be used as an adsorbent, in addition to adding to the use value of boiler combustion waste (Ratnani et al, 2018). This research was conducted to determine the ability of water hyacinth activated carbon and boiler waste activated carbon in improving the quality of bakery industry wastewater, especially to improve the value of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), pH, color and odor.…”
