Pengaruh Berat Karbon Aktif Kulit Durian Dalam Adsorbsi Gas Karbon Monoksida (Co) Dalam Ruangan

Abstract

One og the major toxic cigarettes is carbon monoxiede. Carbon monoxiede is one air pollutant causing the greenhouse effect. The research objective is to know the effect of the weight of durian skin activated carbon to adsorbs indoor CO. The study was pre- experimental with Randomized control group only design. Independent variables are weight of durian skin activated carbon, the dependent variable is concentration of CO. The results showed the average CO adsorption at durian skin activated carbon 1 kg is41,56 ppm, at durian skin activated carbon 2 kg is 30,89 ppm. The average CO decreased on 1 kg is 59%, 2 kg is 69%. Kruskall wallis test to see difference CO in various of weight of activated carbon p value 0,000, independent t test to see the difference CO reduction between 2 type of weight activated carbon with p value is 0,003. Conclusion: there is a differences adsorbtion of CO between 1 kg and 2 kg of durian skin activated carbon.
