Abstract :
Active charcoal can be made and candlenut shell, what in this time still in the
form of waste. Candlenut shell processing as charcoal active is one of easy way to
add economic point. Active charcoal made with process of carbonation low
temperature in furnace. Charcoal result of the pirolisis then activated with strong
acid, afterwards analysed the active charcoal absorption of Fe provision
contained in well water.
Active charcoal quality clings to carbonation process and activation process. In
this research activator which is used is H2SO4 with concentration 1, 3, 5, 7, and
9% and soaking time 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 hours. Research can be concluded that
best result wich is on carbonation temperature 400
o
C up to 1 hours, soaking time
24 activator hour and concentration 9%, resulting the best adsorption of Fe on
well water of 91,38%.
