Abstract
Abstract. This study presents the preparation of activated carbon from durian shell (DShAC) and
durian seed (DSeAC) based by chemical activation with potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an
activating agent under the nitrogen flow. In order to find the optimum physical characteristics,
variation in concentration of KOH, carbonization temperature and duration time was employed. The
result shows that activated carbon from durian waste is a promising activated carbon as the highest
yield was obtained from the carbonization process that occurs at 400ᴼC for four hours with the
KOH concentration is 0.6 M.
