Description
Summary:The synthesis of activated carbon derived from biomass melinjo shells has been carried out by compiling it with TiO 2 nanoparticles. TiO 2 nanoparticles are used to improve the performance of adsorbents as degradation compounds. The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of TiO 2 nanoparticles on the activated carbon composite. Activated carbon is first made by carbonizing biomass at 400°C for 15 minutes, then chemically activated with 65% KOH and physical activation at 500°C. TiO 2 nanoparticles were dissolved in demin water and TEOS produced a mixture of sol and then composite with activated carbon 10 g, 20 g, 30 g, and 40g. The characteristics test which analyzes includes iodine number, XRD, SEM-EDX, and BET tests. Analysis of the largest iodine and surface area (BET) tests is at AC40 each 467.387 mg/g and 273.664 m 2 /g. The XRD showed that the activated carbon was amorphous while the composite produced a crystalline structure.
