STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF FUNCTIONAL GROUPS TYPES ON
ACTIVATED CARBON ADSORPTION ABILITIES OF ACETONE AND
BENZENE APPLYING : CRITICAL REVIEW
ABSTRACT
Acetone and benzene are volatile organic components (VOCs) which are
harmful if inhaled by humans. In the metallurgical industry, acetone is used as
a boron capture reagent in the hydrometallurgical process of refining solar
grade silicon (SOG-Si) to metallugical grade silicon, while benzene is found in
coal tar components and by-products in the coke production process. To reduce
the risk of harm, the levels of acetone and benzene need to be lowered to a safe
limit. The method used to reduce the levels of acetone and benzene is generally
through an adsorption process by absorption agents that have high absorption
kinetics, one of which is activated carbon. Activated carbon can be produced
from the pyrolysis-activation of solid carbon sources such as coal and biomass.
Indonesia has large reserves of coal and biomass at competitive prices, so it has
the potential to be used as an activated carbon precursor. To optimize the use
of activated carbon as an adsorbent for the two VOCs, it is necessary to
understand the factors that affect the performance of activated carbon
adsorption. The adsorption ability of activated carbon can be influenced by the
functional group components in the pores of the activated carbon, therefore it
is necessary to know the effect of each of these functional groups on the
affinity of activated carbon absorption in acetone and benzene compounds. In
this literature study, the effect of the type of functional group on the adsorption
affinity of acetone and benzene was analyzed and compared.
This literature study begins with collecting data and information sourced from
books, journals, and other publications related to activated carbon, functional
groups, acetone and benzene. Then the analysis and discussion of the effect of
the presence of functional groups on the variables that affect the affinity of the
absorption of acetone and benzene by activated carbon is carried out. The
conclusions and suggestions written in this study are expected to be a source of
literature in further research or studies.
The results of the review show that functional groups that have a different
partial charge tendency with acetone, such as carboxyl and amines can increase
the absorption affinity of acetone, and vice versa. This effect can be seen from
the isosteric heat at the beginning of the absorption process with carboxyl,
amine and hydroxyl groups of 65.4 kJ/mol, 55.7 kJ/mol, 41 kJ/mol
respectively, while without the presence of functional groups it is 43,1 kJ/mol.
Meanwhile, on the absorption of benzene, the presence of functional groups
did not have a significant effect. This is caused by the interaction of the
accumulation of strong pi-pi bonds on benzene and activated carbon.value
isosteric heat at the beginning of the absorption process in the presence of
carboxyl, amine and hydroxyl groups was 50.4 kJ/mol, 52.6 kJ/mol, 50.7
kJ/mol, and without the presence of a functional group of 53.1 kJ/mol. The
increase in the adsorption affinity of benzene can be done by increasing the
micropores on the activated carbon.
