| description |
The palm oil plantation industry generates waste besides palm oil products, including empty palm bunch (EPB). This research examines the emission reduction capabilities of motor vehicle exhaust gases using a composite of activated carbon from EPB-AC/TiO2. Surface morphology characterization of the composite is conducted using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). EPB-AC exhibits an average reduction effectiveness of HC gas based on particle size (50, 100, 150, 200 mesh) sequentially at 34.49%, 37.43%, 39.98%, and 43.56%. The average effectiveness of EPB-AC in reducing CO gas sequentially is 70.29%, 71.30%, 72.86%, and 74%. For CO2 gas, EPB-AC has an average reduction sequentially at 52.6%, 54.25%, 56.52%, and 58.54%. On the other hand, the EPB-AC/TiO2 composite exhibits an average reduction effectiveness of HC gas based on particle size sequentially at 42.38%, 43.42%, 45.1%, and 46.57%. The average effectiveness of the EPB-AC/TiO2 composite in reducing CO gas sequentially is 71.24%, 73.52%, 75.54%, and 76.9%. For CO2 gas, the EPB-AC/TiO2 composite has an average reduction sequentially at 54.93%, 54.25%, 59.76%, and 63.05%. Therefore, the best reduction results occur at a particle size of 200 mesh.
