Abstract :
Exhaust emission are the result of the combustion of motorized vehicles that
contain various pollutant which can cause more human problems. One of the
things that can be done to reduce the level of exhaust emissions is by adding
activated carbon from cassava skin waste to the exhaust. The study aims to
analyze the effect of the use of activated carbon of cassava skin waste on motor
vehicle exhaust emissions compared to standard exhaust. Retrival of exhaust gas
data using a gas analyzer T 161 Didacta Italia. Comparison of the use of
standard exhaust with activated carbon of cassava skin waste is given a 1500
rpm, 3000 rpm, 4500 rpm engine rotation with CO, CO2, O2 and HC gas content.
The result of the lowest CO gas content in the use of KOH activated charcoal is
0,72 %Vol at 1500 rpm, the lowest CO2 exhaust gas is used in TiO2 activated
charcoal is 1,4 %Vol at 1500 rpm, higher O2 content from the standard that is
equal to 18,3 %Vol at 1500 rpm rotation and the lowest HC level in use of
activated charcoal TiO2 is 94 %Vol at 4500 rpm rotation.
