Reducing Emissions CO, CO2, and HC, on Vehicles with Gasoline Fuel

Abstract

Abstract Merauke Regency is the largest regency in Papua with the highest fuel consumption by regency/city in Papua Province. The high fuel consumption is proportional to the emissions produced, so research on emissions absorbing media is needed to reduce emissions. Active charcoal has the ability to adsorption of emissions, one of the raw materials is plants. Bus wood (eucalyptus) which grows a lot in Merauke can be used as raw material for activated charcoal which is used as an absorber of emissions. Research with the title “application of eucalyptus charcoal as emission adsorbent to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions” processes wood logs into emission adsorbents, through carbonation and activation processes, then activated charcoal is applied to vehicle vehicles and subsequent emission tests, to determine emission reduction capabilities. Based on the results of emission tests, the use of activated charcoal as an emission adsorber can reduce emissions. 0.07% CO emissions decreased to 0.01%, HC emissions 84 ppm, decreased to 39 ppm, and 14.7% CO2 decreased 4.4%.
