Analisis Proksimat Karbon Batang Jagung (Zea mays) di Kecamatan 2 x 11 Kayu Tanam sebagai Sumber Material Maju

Abstract

— Carbon material is a material obtained from organic materials through carbonization which is processed into carbon. Corn stalks contain cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin which have the potential to be used as carbon sources for advanced materials. This study aims to analyze carbon from corn stalks. Corn stalks were carbonized with temperature variations of 250˚C, 300˚C, 350˚C, 400˚C, and 450˚C. The carbon of corn stalks formed was carried out by proximate analysis by testing the vapor content, ash content, and bound carbon. The results of the analysis show that the higher the carbonization temperature, the lower the vapor content and the bound carbon content, while the higher the ash content. In this study, the results of the carbonization of corn stalks in Kecamatan 2 x 11 Kayutanam in accordance with SNI 06-3730-1995 were carbonized samples of 250˚C with a vapor content of 2.9%, ash content of 8.69%, and bound carbon content of 88.41%.
