The aims of this research is preparation activated carbon from a waste of seed of nyamplung and to know the surface structure of activated carbon of seed shell and also carbon composition contained in nyamplung seed shell activated carbon. The samples were then sieved with a size of 100 mesh and then carbonated using pyrolysis at 200-400 C for 7 hours, then activated 10 grams using a 30-minute steam pressure with a temperature range from 600 C, 700 C, 800 C and 900 C. The sample was characterized using SEM, proximate and ultimate analysis methods. The result of analysis is obtained that at temperature 700 C has a very large pore diameter of 46 nm while the result of proximate and ultimate characterization shows the highest carbon content obtained an activation temperature of 800 C: 97,32 %. These results indicate that the pore structure is in the mesopori category.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
