Coconut Shell Activated Carbon as an Alternative Renewable Energy

Abstract

<p>Research coconut shell activated carbon as an alternative renewable energy has been done. Coconut shell activated carbon is processed into fuel that can replace coal. Coconut shell densely textured, hard, and old became a mainstay to be used as activated carbon. The process of forming into a coconut shell coconut shell activated carbon made by drying, pyrolysis, and carbonization. After it was examined DSC and SEM, so the coconut shell activated carbon obtained temperature of 500 0C is activated carbon which can produce the greatest heat and durable because of the many elements contained carbon and many pores are formed. </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: activated carbon; alternative renewable energy; coconut shell.</p>
