Abstract

The carbon approximation test of rubber fruit shell has been successfully carried out. Carbon made at a temperature of 370 oC with variations in the length of time of 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes was found to meet the test levels of SNI No. 06-3720-1995 and the best carbonization time for 60 minutes. Rubber fruit shell is the unused part of the rubber tree so that it becomes waste. Most of the rubber plantations in Indonesia are owned and managed by the community, but only latex is used while the rest are not. Processing of other parts of the rubber tree that have not been utilized such as rubber fruit shells, therefore proper handling is needed to manage rubber fruit shells so that they are more beneficial to the environment and can have economic value later. Namely processing rubber fruit shells into activated carbon because it contains the main composition of cellulose and lignin
