Abstract


The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal carbonization temperature of lemongrass leaves to obtain an environmentally friendly, economical and quality product that could potentially be a carbon source for advanced materials. Lemongrass leaf carbon is synthesized by the carbonization process. The method in the formation of lemongrass leaf carbon is calcination using a furnace at a temperature variation of 250°C, 300°C and 350°C for 1 hour. Carbon will be tested for ash content, vapor content, and bound carbon content. Carbon quality requirements based on SNI 06-3730-1995. In conclusion, the optimal carbonization temperature is 250°C with an ash content of 18.99%, a vapor content of 2.91% and a bound carbon content of 78.10%.
