Abstract

The potential for rubber fruit shells in East Kalimantan Province in 2019 was 95.327 tons/year. Rubber fruit shells contain 48.64% cellulose. The content of cellulose are organic compounds that can be used as activated carbon. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the type of chemical activator with the help of ultrasonic waves on the characteristics of activated carbon according to the SNI 06-3730-1995 standard. Activated carbon is obtained through 4 stages, namely preparation of raw materials, carbonation at 500°C for1 hour, chemical activation with variations in the types of activators H3PO4, H2SO4, KOH and Na2CO3 with a concentration of 10% b/v for 4 hours, then physically activated at a temperature of 600°C for 1 hour. The best results were obtained in the variation of H3PO4 activator types with I2 absorption results of 771.3263mg/g, water content of 0.5745%, ash content of 0.4045%, and 9.8200% volatile matter content.
