Abstract
Organic wastes are used in order to reduce environment pollution by changing it into activated charcoal that could regenerates waste cooking oil. The aim of this research was to analyzed the effect of various activator to measure the oil quality. The parameters are turbidity, free fatty acids, peroxide numbers and organoleptic from this waste cooking oil. CRD (Complete Randomized Design) was applied with 3x3 factors. Bagasse charcoal was activated using KMnO4 10%, NaCl 10% and Ca(OH)2 10%. The data was analyzed statistically using ANOVA 1-way. The results showed that bagasse charcoal activated with KMnO4 can affect the turbidity, smell and color from cooking oil better than the other activators (sig <0.05). To conclude, different activators gave different results on waste cooking oil purification.
