Abstract:
A study of potentially of bamboo charcoal in oil absorption is presented. This study
examined the relationship between the carbonizing temperature of bamboo charcoal,
surface area identified in morphology of bamboo charcoal, minerals contain in
bamboo ch�rcoal and potential of oil absorption. With regard to the carbonizing
temperature of bamboo charcoal, bamboo material was controllese at temperature of
500
°
°
C and 700
C. The
,
potentially of bamboo charcoal in oil absorption were the
highest for the bamboo charcoal carbonized at 700
C. The origin of absorption
properties also discussed based on the identifying of functional group using Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR). However, bamboo charcoal was also characterized by
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Fluorescene (XRF).
