“…The inert gas is a stable and non-reactive gas which causing the degradation of material without oxidation [11]. Form the references; it had conducted several ways to produce carbon with good characteristics in terms of high porosity and surface area [12][13][14]. Charcoal or carbon is then processed to form internal pores within the macro-, meso-and micro-pores in order to generate a larger surface area [15,16].…”

Abstract. Activated carbon is materials that have wide applications, including supercapacitor materials, absorbent in chemical industry, and absorbent material in the chemical industry. This study has carried out for the manufacturing of activated carbon from inexpensive materials through efficient processes. Carbon material was made from coconut fibers through pyrolysis process at temperature of 650, 700, 750 and 800 o C. Aim of this study was to obtain carbon material that has a large surface area. Pyrolysis process is carried out in an inert atmosphere (N 2 gas) at a temperature of 450 o C for 30 minutes, followed by pyrolysis process in an ammonia atmosphere at 800 o C for 2 hours. The pyrolysis results showed that the etching process in ammonia is occurred; as it obtained some greater surface area when compared with the pyrolisis process in an atmosphere by inert gas only. The resulted activated carbon also showed to have good properties in surface area and total pore volume.

“…It also effective for handling fume to secure the environment in healthy level. Potential results of this charcoal refer to Rahman et al, (2012) [17] based on the surface area and pore diameter are shown in Figure 15 and Table 3. The charcoal is activated using phosphoric acid with the percentage 10, 20 and 30% in order to improve surface area and improve total pore volume.…”

Abstract. Carbonization process has become an important stage in developing activated carbon. However, existing burner are not efficient in time production which take 24 hours to15 days for charcoal production. Therefore, new design of burner/kilns is quite needed in order to produce larger number of charcoal in short time production, to improve charcoal quality regarding to the smooth surface area and pore volume. This research proposed new design burner which divided into two types which are vertical and horizontal types. Vertical is not completed by autorotating system while horizontal type is complete by auto-rotating and fume handling system. It developed using several equipment such as welding, oxy-cutting, drilling grinding and cutting machine. From the result of carbonization process shows that coconut shell charcoal need shorter time of 30 minutes as compared to palm shell charcoal of 2 h to completely carbonized. This result claim that the new design better than existing kiln that need longer time up to 24 h. The result of the palm and coconut shell charcoal believe will produce better properties of activated carbon in large surface area and higher total volume of pores. Therefore, this burner is high recommended for producing palm and coconut shell charcoal as well as other bio-based material.

“…Hopefully, with the application of the results of this research, the solutions to two waste problems, namely jewellery industry waste and agricultural waste will be obtained. The agricultural wastes were utilized as adsorbent by [Noor et al, 2007] and [Rahman et al, 2012]. [El-Shafey, 2010] studied husk charcoal that was activated with 13 M sulfuric acid to remove zinc and mercury.…”

The wastewater from the jewellery industry generally contains a large amount of metal. Metal removal can be done with many techniques, including precipitation and adsorption. Precipitation is done to convert the metal content from the dissolved phase to a solid that is easily precipitated. Generally, precipitation is unable to separate one hundred percent of metal content, so further processing is needed, i.e. adsorption. This research was done by using rice husk which is an agricultural waste in Indonesia. The rice husk is burnt to charcoal, then activated with acid. A SEM-EDX analysis was conducted to obtain a surface description of rice husk charcoal before and after use in the adsorption process. The results showed that the copper content in the jewellery wastewater can be adsorbed with a 40-50 mesh rice husk charcoal and the adsorption process follows the Freundlich isotherm model with R2 value of 0.9625.
