| dc.description.abstract | Ammonia gas is a highly reactive and soluble gas alkaline gas which can be hazardous if it is were to release to in large quantity. Ammonia gas should be treated as it brings tremendous impact on environment. This can be done by treating the by-product of the factory using activated carbon before releasing it to atmosphere. In this study, the treatment method used for ammonia removal is chemical and physical activated carbon from RPMS. RPMS is by-product from papermaking factory which is ideal to use as low cost production adsorbent as it contain high carbon. The effectiveness of the physical and chemical activated carbon of adsorption capacity of this activated carbon are based on effect of impregnation ratio, temperature and time. The chemical activated carbon use KOH as activation agent. In order to determine the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon, iodine number test has been conducted. The optimum condition for chemical activated carbon is 700 °C, impregnation ratio of 1.0 at 60 minutes. Meanwhile, the optimum condition for physical activated carbon is 500 °C at 60 minutes. Next, the adsorption ammonia also was investigated. Chemical activated and physical activated carbon both have quite similar result for removal of lower concentration ammonia which is 50 ppm. | en_US |
