Abstract
Porous carbon material was synthesized from sugarcane bagasse by 2 steps. Firstly, increase the surface area by treatment bagasse via using hot-compressed with mixture of ethanol/water in various concentrations (0-100%v). Secondly, transform the pretreated bagasse to porous carbon by carbonization under nitrogen at 900°C for 2 hours. The highest surface area was found at a pretreatment temperature 180°C with mixture of ethanol-water 25%v and specific surface area was 382 m2/g while raw bagasse without pretreated was 189 m2/g. Pretreated bagasse and porous carbon were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) analysis and surface area measurement by N2 adsorption (BET). The result was showed that organosolv pretreatment using ethanol mixed water can increase the surface area and porosity of bagasse.
