Abstract

Abstract- and economic material. One of the benefit things is the processing of organic waste to produce carbon. This study has decomposed waste of cassava peel to yield carbon through calcinations. The process of carbonization has been conducted at temperature of thermal decomposition of cassava peel applying TGA and the carbon yield characterized by FTIR and XRD. The FTIR spectra indicates that the carbon yield from calcinations of cassava peel at various temperatures of thermal decomposition still containing some functional groups of organic compounds showed by its characteristic absorption bands. The characteristic FTIR absorption bands become more distinguishable from the spectra of unmanageable cassava peel due to increasing calcination temperatures. The pattern of X-Ray diffraction of carbon samples yielded from calcinations showed amorphous phase of carbon with several crystalline peaks of graphite at C(001), C(102), and C(112) planes.
