CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT GRAIN SIZES BAMBOO-ACTIVATED CARBONS FOR MOTORCYCLE FLUE GAS ADSORPTION

Abstract

The use of fossil fuels in human activities such as motorcycles has led to an increase in the concentration emitted in the atmosphere. Various efforts and methods such as adsorption using activated carbon have been developed and applied to reduce the emission. Therefore, this study focuses on the characteristics and performance of bamboo-activated carbons in the adsorption of motorcycle flue gases. This was carried out using different grain sizes (z) of activated carbons AC-M1, AC-M2, and AC-M3 for grain sizes of z ≤ 250, 250 < z ≤ 420, and 420
