Abstract

Isolation and identification of cardanol from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) has been done. Isolation of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) in cashew nut shell (Anacardium Occidentale L) using soxhlet extraction method with using nhexana. Cardanol is polymerization and decarboxylation produced by cashew nut shell. Cardanol from this research was analysed used GC-MS and FTIR. Based on analysis using GC-MS and FTIR, showed result of this research is cardanol. Result research showed the content of cardanol is 72,98% with GC-MS. The analysis result with FTIR that shows this compound have the aromatic compound C=C, alkyl, and OH.
