Abstract
Oil palm frond waste has the potential to be used as a raw material in the manufacture
of porous activated carbon. Making charcoal from palm fronds aims to be a porous
activated carbon material or base material. The process of making charcoal as raw
material for porous activated carbon goes through a process of washing and drying the
sample, burning, and neutralizing the pH. The combustion process was carried out
using self-designed furnaces with variations in burning time of 30, 40, 50 and 60
minutes with a combustion mass of 5 kg each. Combustion at different times is carried
out in order to find out the time that has the most potential to produce the most charcoal.
Charcoal that has gone through the combustion process is soaked with distilled water
for 2 hours to facilitate the separation of charcoal and ash as well as raw materials that
are not completely burnt and neutralized by pH. Samples at 50 minutes of burning time
produce more charcoal from the same burning mass. This shows that the burning time
affects the results of existing combustion. Pre-carbonization time of 50 minutes showed
the least reduction in ash content with the highest charcoal content.
