CHARACTERIZATION OF SALAK WEDI ACTIVATED CARBON STRUCTURE USING KOH AND ZnCl2 ACTIVATOR

Activated carbon can be made from a variety of organic and inorganic raw materials. One the materials with great potential in manufacture activated is bark salak wedi(Salacca Zalacca). The purpose this study was to determine physical characteristics wedi peel which has been chemically using KOH ZnCl2 process being once only or multilevel activation combination number pores sample presence crystal structure sample. research method includes making, single processes, then SEM XRD tests are carried out. results have more than once. obtained that larger compared out once, result largest pore volume stratified activator Carbon + (s) 35,976,798,714 nm3. analysis indicated material good conductivity properties because it relatively high crystalline structure, both on one-time activation. Time phase most significant percentage if another
