    KARAKTER UMUM ARANG KULIT DURIAN YANG DISEDIAKAN SECARA KARBONISASI
    (Elfitra, 2023-11) Lestari, Mira; Muhdarina, Muhdarina
    The biomass of durian peel has been transformed into charcoal on a laboratory scale. This research aims to study the characteristics of charcoal obtained from the carbonization process inside a furnace at a temperature of 300ÂșC with durations of 30, 60, and 90 minutes, namely AKD 30, AKD 60, and AKD 90. The produced characteristics are characterized, including yield, moisture content, ash content, charcoal surface acidity, and methylene blue adsorption, respectively. Increased the carbonization time causes the water content and surface aciditiy to decrease, but the ash content increased, while the adsorbed methylene blue was quite variable. AKD 30 is better charcoal than the other two charcoals, although it is still below SNI standard 06-3730-1995.
