Abstract

The synthesis of activated carbon derived from biomass melinjo shells has been carried out This research makes activated carbon from the shell of melinjo with active chemicals and chemical-physics so that it can distinguish the activated carbon produced. The carbonization process was carried out at 400oC, for 15 minutes. The process continues by activating the chemical with a 65% KOH activator by returning the activator mass and activated carbon 4: 1. The activated process is carried out by immersion 24 hours then stirred at ± 110 oC for 5 hours. Furthermore, physics was carried out at variations in temperature of 500 oC, 550 oC, 600oC and 650 oC for 1 hour. Based on the results of research on activated carbon with active physics at a temperature of 550oC, the best results were obtained by producing an iodine number of 695.53 mg / g, water content of 4.38%, ash content of 5.955% and area of 412.33 m2 / g.
