Application of Activated Carbon Produced from Licuri Bark (Syagrus coronata) in Water Filtration
View through CrossRef
This work aims to produce activated carbon from the bark of licuri (Syagrus coronata) and evaluate its effectiveness in water filtration. The bark was separated from the pulp, and biochar was produced through pyrolysis and chemical activation. The filtration performance was assessed by measuring the optical density using a spectrophotometer and analyzing the samples that passed through the filtration system containing the licuri-based activated carbon. The results confirmed the efficiency of activated carbon derived from licuri bark. Regarding adsorption capacity, the pyrolyzed charcoal alone demonstrated superior performance, yielding results comparable to commercial activated carbon commonly used in drinking water filtration systems.
