Abstract

Activated carbon was prepared from Terminalia catappa shells using microwave asissted KOH activation. The ratio of mass percentages of Terminalia catappa and KOH were 4:1, 4:2, and 4:3. Terminalia catappa based activated carbon was prepared by KOH activation at the room temperature for 24 hours and followed by microwave irradiation at the out put power of 630 Watt for 20 minutes. The physical properties of activated carbon i.e. surface morphology, micro structure, and BET surface area were characterized by electron scanning microscope, X-ray diffraction and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm at 77K, respectively. The highest BET surface area was 312 m2/g with adsorption of activated carbon towards methylene blue by 84.4 mg/g. The BET surface area was directly correlated with the stack height (Lc) of the activated carbon.

Abstract

A preliminary study has been conducted on supercapacitor carbon-electrode monolith prepared from teak leaf waste. The objective of this study is to know the electrochemical cell capacitance from carbon materials. The production of carbon electrode began with pre-carbonization process at 2500C for 2.5 hours, then proceeded to chemical activation using KOH activator with concentration of 0.3 M. Hydraulic Press was used with pressure at 8 ton to form the monolith. Then, the density was measured the carbonization. After that the sample was activated using CO2 gas at 8500C burning temperature. Next after the carbonization, the density was measured by collecting mass, diameter and thickness data of the electrode. The specific capacitance was measured using Physics CV UR Rad-ER 5481 which is controlled by a cyclic voltammetry software with the potential window width of 0 – 0.5 V and at a scan rate of 1 mV/s. The best density results obtained were 0.853 g/cm3 before carbonization for sample code C24 and 0.605 g/cm3 after carbonization for sample C30. The specific capacitance was found at 113.20 G/g for C32 and C38 electrodes

Abstract

The present research was conducted to analyze the physical properties of activated carbon from oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber (OPEFBF) to be applied as methylene blue adsorbent material. The OPEFBF was pre-carbonized at 280oC for 4 hours in vacuum, milled, and sieved to obtain the self-adhesive carbon grain (SACG) with a size less than 106 µm. The chemical activation was done using potassium hydroxide (KOH) with variations of 25%, 50%, and 75% from the SACG weight, stirred at 400 rpm for 24 hours at room temperature and pyrolyzed using microwave irradiations at the output power of 720 W for 15 minutes. The physical properties of activated carbon consist of two characterizations, namely microstructure evaluated with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface morphology evaluated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern showed that the activated carbon had a semi-crystalline structure characterized by the presence of (002) and (100) planes at the diffraction angle of 2θ about 21o and 43o, respectively. The surface morphology of activated carbon depicted that a higher percentage of KOH resulted in more pores were formed. Thus, the higher the surface area of activated carbon, the greater the adsorption of methylene blue. The highest methylene blue adsorption was obtained in the sample of 75% KOH with 87.73 mg/g. The energy dispersive X-ray showed that the increase of KOH percentage used enhanced the percentage of carbon element produced.

Abstract

The natural pore structure of corn stalk core potentially contributes as a basic material for activated carbon. The activated carbon from a combination of chemical and physical activation is presented for capacitive energy storage. The chemical activation was carried out using 0.4 M KOH followed by pyrolysis process up to 600°C in an N2 atmosphere. The physical activation was conducted at various temperatures such as 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C with a CO2 gas flow rate of 10 mL/min. Supercapacitor cells were made from carbon electrodes of corn stalk core, 316L stainless steel as the current collector, duck eggshell as the separator, and 1 M H2SO4 as the electrolyte solution. The physical properties of carbon electrodes were characterized by identifying the density, surface morphology and chemical structure of carbon. The density value was obtained based on the mass, thickness, and diameter of the carbon electrode. The lowest density was found at the activation temperature of 700°C which has the potential to produce the best performance in supercapacitor cells. SEM was used to characterize the surface morphology. The activation temperature of 700°C showed the formation of irregular structures and provided large pores for the diffusion of electrolyte ions into the carbon matrix. The FTIR characterization was used to determine the carbon chain elements which formed double layers in supercapacitor cells. The electrochemical properties of supercapacitor cells were tested using cyclic voltammetry. Specific capacitances at the activation temperature of 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C were 90 Fg-1, 108.92 Fg-1, and 44.875 Fg-1, respectively. These results showed that the activation temperature of 700°C was the best temperature in the preparation of supercapacitor electrodes from corn stalk core as the biomass material.

Abstract

The fish bone waste treatment program for the application of useful products, specifically as a natural ingredient of the drinking water filter.This program works with coastal communities in terms of providing raw materials. This program is a social innovation from the transfer of knowledge of the university's inventors to the coastal communities, in the aim to maintain and improve the cleanliness of the environment, which is then applied for the purpose of developing a water filter system. The contribution of this organic product is useful for Small, Micro & Medium Enterprises engaged in the production of food and beverages, as well as donations for cosmetic and health products to industries, as well as donations to policy development, through the application of environmental physics and science development to product development, pre-commercialization and commercialization (social engineering & manufacturing). The involvement of coastal communities in utilizing their waste is to achieve the empowerment of coastal communities, emphasizing community involvement to learn and cooperate for future development goals. Prior to the formation of this program, the community who failed to take care of its waste often had the waste dumped into the sea, rivers and garbage collection sites. The disposal causes the form of pollution problems that invite various dangerous diseases and cause the community environment to be clean, smelly and diseased. The results of the research have been done, Fish bone waste can be processed to be a product of water filter system resulting from fish processing industry, which contains high calcium. Fish bones are very rich in calcium that is needed by the human body, because the main elements of fish bones are calcium and phosphorus. The use of fish bone calcium is widespread such as overcoming coastal pollution and other environments in the disposal of heavy metals such as Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), and Iron (Fe).

Abstract

The electrical characteristics of cassava peel can be detected by using a pair of electrodes, Cu and Zn. Measurement of electrical characteristics is done when the cassava peel is given a 5 watt LED load and when the load is removed. Cassava peel are used in two different ways: fermented and non-fermented. The electrolyte cell used consisted of 20 cells, assembled in three different types: 20 series, 10 series with 2 parallel, and 5 series with 4 parallel. The volume of each cell's paste is 200 ml. The measurement results show that the 20 series circuit produces the greatest electrical voltage, but the electric current is small and the resistance is large. While the series with 20 cells and 5 series with 4 parallel obtained maximum power. The cassava peel which were fermented for 72 hours can increase the electrical power generated from the three types of circuits.
