KARBON AKTIF HASIL DEKOMPOSISI TERMAL LIMBAH KERAK CAT BESERTA KARAKTERISASINYA
Abstract: Automotive sector
which is one of the biggest industry has been producing paint sludge waste in
enormous amount that could be dangerous for environment sustainability. To
overcome this problem of course waste
treatment approach is important, but somehow the big investment and operational
cost is often become restriction in adopting this kind of approach.Another
alternative was to process the paint sludge waste onto more useful product (recycle). The large fraction
of organic material in paint sludge has leaded an opportunity to recycle this
waste onto activated carbon through thermal decomposition and activation
process. Thermal decomposition process in 310°C without activation step has
produce activated carbon which has iod number 104.81 mg/g, while the same
decomposition process continue with activation step give iod number 91.87 mg/g.
These results indicate that paint sludge waste could be recycle onto activated carbon which not only could reduce
the environment pollution but also could give economical benefit. Another
characterization also done by DTA and FTIR to get additional information about
the surface topography and chemicalfunctional groups of activated
carbonproduced.
