THE EFFECT OF ADDITION BISPHENOL-A-POLYCARBONATE FROM CD-R WASTE AS A CATALYST FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION

In producing hydrogen, various methods can be used, one of which is the electrolysis water. Electrolysis a method for breaking water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen by using an electric current. does not require complicated equipment systems, so it said to easiest hydrogen. But widely used because its low efficiency. Because this, many efforts have been made with aim increasing production in this paper, we use Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonate (BPA) compounds obtained from unused CD-R layers. BPA has aromatic that tested FTIR. Aromatic generate their own magnetic field; field disrupt bonds process more optimal. It also known that, on surface BPA, tendency positively charged FESEM testing. The predominantly positive works effectively attract OH- ions. This causes lot H+ ions move freely solution becomes acidic, results easier mobility currents. With addition 3 grams produce 46% ppm than conventional.
