Abstract
This research studied to utilize the bagasse to be used as activated karbon in particular for the adsorption of Ca 2+ . The manufacture of activated carbon consists of carbonization dan activation process. Temperature variation for carbonization process in this research are 500 ° C, 550 ° C, 600 ° C, 650 ° C and 700 ° C then proceed with the activation process by carbon reflux with 6 M H 2 SO 4 for 4 hours. Carbonization yield will decrease with increasing temperature carbonization. While the ash content, surface area, pore volume, and adsorption capacity of Ca 2+ will increase with increasing temperature of carbonization. Obtained activated carbon is best activated karbon made at a temperature of 700°C with an activation carbonization which has a surface area 100.62 m 2 /g, 22.3750 A pore diameter, pore volume of 22.376 mL/g, can eliminate the Ca 2+ up to 13.26 %.

Summary
Penelitian ini berupaya memanfaatkan ampas tebu tersebut untuk dijadikan karbon aktif, khususnya adsorpsi Ca2+. Pembuatan karbon aktif pada penelitian ini melalui dua tahapan proses yaitu karbonisasi dan aktivasi. Proses karbonisasi dilakukan dengan variasi suhu yaitu 500, 550, 600, 650, 700°C, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan proses aktivasi dengan mereflux karbon dengan H2SO4 6 M selama 4 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa yield hasil karbonisasi semakin menurun seiring meningkatnya suhu karbonisasi. Luas permukaan, volume pori, dan kemampuan adsorpsi Ca2+ akan semakin meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu karbonisasi. Karbon aktif terbaik diperoleh pada suhu karbonisasi 700oC dengan aktivasi H2SO4 6 M. Karakterisasi karbon aktif tersebut menunjukkan bahwa luas pemukaan 100,62 m2/g, diameter pori 22,3750 Å, volume pori 22,376 mL/gr. Kemampuan karbon aktif yang dihasilkan pada penelitian ini dapat menurunkan kadar Ca2+ hingga 13,26%
