Study of Pore Length and Chemical Composition of Charcoal that Results from the Pyrolysis of Coconut Shell in Bolaang Mongondow, Sulawesi, Indonesia

Charcoal of coconut shell is produced by pyrolysis at 300oC and chemically activated using HCl. Both charcoal chemical activation were measured analyzed Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The functional groups found O-H, aliphatic C-H, aromatic C=C, C-O, C-H. distribution pore length increased from 362 nm-1.02 µm to 1.10 µm-1.52 µm. composition carbon elements in the mass % 86.11% 88.93%.
