Solid waste of Palm kernel cake (PKC) is a by product of oil extraction from palm nut pose a serious environmental problem in some factories of Palm Kernel Oil (PKO. Thererfore the research about utilization of palm kernel cake solid waste (PKC) as a source of activated carbon was performed. From this research is to know quality of activated carbon using palm kernel cake as a row material to compare with the SNI 06-3730-1995. The process was carried out is chemical activation method with in laboratory scale using two types activator, which is phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide at six different concentration 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% and 12% respectively. Whereas, carbonization was held at temperature of 400oC during 120 minutes. The result indicated that the quality of activated carbon according to key parameters using  the lowest concentration of  activator fulfilling with SNI 06-3730-1995 was produced by H3PO4 6%  with iodine adsorption capacity 769 mg/g. Meanwhile for activator KOH 10% according to key parameters using  the lowest concentration of  activator fulfilling with SNI 06-3730-1995 was produced by with condition of iodine adsorption capacity 778 mg/gABSTAKLimbah padat palm kernel cake (PKC) yang dihasilkan dari proses ekstraksi kernel merupakan permasalahan lingkungan yang serius dibeberapa industri yang mengolah Palm Kernel Oil (PKO). Oleh karena itu dilakukan penelitian untuk memanfaatkan limbah padat Palm Kernel Cake (PKC) sebagai sumber karbon aktif. Diharapkan dari penelitian ini dapat diketahui mutu karbon aktif yang dihasilkan dibandingkan dengan SNI 06 3730-1995. Proses pengolahan yang dilakukan secara kimia dalam skala laboratorium, menggunakan dua jenis aktivator yaitu H3PO4 dan KOH dengan konsentrasi 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% dan 12%. Karbonisasi dilakukan pada suhu 400 oC selama 120 menit. Hasil uji mutu karbon aktif yang dihasilkan berdasarkan parameter kunci dengan pertimbangan penggunaan bahan kimia dengan konsentrasi aktivator terkecil menunjukkan bahwa pengggunaan aktivator 6% H3PO4  memiliki daya serap terhadap iod sebesar (I2) 769 mg/g, bila dibandingkan dengan SNI 06 3730-1995 telah dapat memenuhi syarat mutu. Sedangkan penggunaan aktivator KOH 10%  dengan pertimbangan penggunaan bahan kimia dengan konsentrasi aktivator terkecil memiliki daya serap terhadap iod sebesar 778 mg/g. Kata kunci :  asam fosfat, kalium hidroksida, karbon aktif, limbah padat, daya serap iod, palm kernel cake

Biomass-based activated carbon has received large attention due to its excellent characteristics such as inexpensiveness, good absorption behaviour, and potential to reduce strong dependence towards non-renewable precursors. The potential use of Palm Kernel Shell in modified activated carbon was evaluated by using the Response Surface Methodology. In this study, a 23 three-level Central Composite Design (CCD) was used to develop a statistical model for the optimization of process variables, contact time (10-130mins) X1, pH (5.0 – 8.0) X2, and adsorbent dose (0.4 -5.0g) X3. The investigation shows that Ethylene Di-Amine Tetra-Acetic Acid modified activated carbon prepared from Palm Kernel Shell is a promising adsorbent for the removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions over a wide range of concentrations with an optimized efficiency of 99% at the solution pH of 7.2, contact time of 70 minutes and adsorbent dose of 2.1g/L. The adsorption results are in line with the linear and quadratic model representation, which is evident from the models for optimization of copper ions.

This research was conducted to utilize fresh and fermented palm kernel cake in the ducks diets on egg physical quality. One hundred and five laying ducks were randomly devided in to five diets treatments in three replications with seven laying ducks each the dietary treatments were K = control, was diet without palm kernel cake, BKS 10 and BKS 30 diets with addition 10 % and 30 % fresh palm kernel cake, BKSF 10 and BKSF 30 diets with addition 10 % and 30 % fermented palm kernel cake. The data collected were egg mass, shell thickness, Haugh Unit and yolk colour and will be analyzed by a one way classification of variance analysis (CRD), followed by testing the significant mean by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed the egg mass, shell thickness, and HU had not significant different and egg mass were (64,74, 65,71, 67,22, 65,39, 63,52 g), shell thickness were (0,47, 0,49, 0,44, 0,48, 0,45 mm), Haught Unit were (86,81, 87,44, 90,94, 88,15, 88,08 %). Yolk colour had significant different between the treatment (9.31, 9,72, 9,81, 10,69, 10,74). It be concluded that the utilization 30% of fresh and fermented palm kernel cake in feed duck had not increase egg mass, shell tickness, and haugh unit, except on yolk colour. Key words :Fermentation, Egg Quality, Laying Duck, Palm kernel cake

Developing an adsorbent with natural components is one of the effective methods to reduce the amount of wastewater pollutants. Wastewater reuse can improve the quality of water prior to entering the natural environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of chitosan nano-composite and activated carbon adsorbent in the removal of nitrite, phosphate, and ammonia pollutants from fish farms of Aq-Qala. To prepare the adsorbents, the shrimp shells were converted to nano-chitosan. The date palm kernel was prepared and activated with oxalic acid in pyrolysis furnace by injecting nitrogen gas into activated carbon, then, the nano-composite was prepared from nanochitosan and activated carbon. A field-laboratory study was conducted during the winter of 2018, and then, batches of synthesized nano-composite were investigated and the effects of pH, initial effluent concentration, and adsorption time were investigated. The experiments were performed in the pH range of 5-8, effluent concentration of 25-100 mg/L, and contact time of 15-90 minutes. The results showed that at optimum conditions (pH of 7, effluent concentration of 50 mg/L, and contact time of 60 minutes), the highest removal percentage and adsorption capacity for nitrite, phosphate, and ammonia contaminants were 99.98%, 99.77%, and 65.65%, and 6.65, 6.14, and 7.32 mg/g , respectively. Due to the high removal percentage (99.98%) of the chitosan and activated carbon nano-composite, the adsorbent was highly capable of removing pollutants (nitrite, phosphate, and ammonia).
