Abstract

PT. Sawit Mas Sejahtera is a limited liability company whose efforts include oil palm plantations and palm oil mills. Waste generated is CPO (22.5%), Kernel (5.5%), Empty Bunch (21%), Fibre (12.5%), Shell (6.5%) and effluent (55%). The method used in this research is to utilize palm shell as a raw material preparation active carbon with the activation process. As for the preparation of activated carbon depends on the addition of activator ZnCl2 with variable concentrations of 5% to 25%. Based on the analysis that has been set, it can be concluded palm shells can be processed into activated carbon and activated carbon obtained the best on the size of 200 mesh and a concentration of 20% with a water content of 8.80%, ash content of 4.28%, the absorption of iodine 997.97 mg / L.
