PENINGKATAN POTENSI CAMPURAN SERAT SABUT KELAPA DAN SERBUK KAYU GERGAJI TERKATIVASI H2SO4 SEBAGAI MEDIA ADSORBEN ZAT WARNA TERHADAP LIMBAH KAIN SONGKET

Adsorption is one of the many used in the industry both in separation as well as for gas storage. In this, the selection process adsorption adsorben is important. One of the kinds of adsorben which are very suitable is activated carbon. Tracking studies before shows that activated carbon that is derived from the materials biomass containing lignin, selullosa, and fixed carbon that is quite enough. Coconut Fiber and powder wood is biomass lignoseloluc that have the potential to become a media sinks will be activated carbon. This research aims to increase the potential for powder wood fibers and coconut casing to a activated carbon through activating use the amino acids (H2SO4) with 3 variations concentration (2.0 M; 4.0 M; and 6.0 M) to the ability to absorb (adsorption) pigment in waste songket cloth. Mix coconut coir fiber powder and wood that has been activated done trial standards according SII No. 0258-79, which is on the level of water, abu, characteristics large surface, and the application of waste songket cloth. Results of the study showed that a mix coconut coir and powder wood a hacksaw after activated H2SO4 produces the level of water in accordance with SII max 15 percent, namely the level of water highest produced by raw materials 15 grams fiber 35 gr powder on H2SO4 activator concentration 2M, and low produced by the 35 grams fiber 15 gr powder on H2SO4 activator concentration 6M. For the ashes produced by also meet SII No. 0258-79, namely max 10 percent. For the abu highest produced by 35 grams fiber 15 gr powder and the lowest on H2SO4 activator concentration 6M, produced in 15 grams fiber 35 gr powder on H2SO4 activator concentration 2M, large surface highest produced by the H2SO4 activator concentration6M with materials 15 fiber 35 gr powder that is equal to 53,153 m2/gr, and absorbansi pigment absorbed with both produced by percent degradation of 99.6170 percent.
