Characterization of durian husk as activated carbon

In this study, characterization of activated carbon produced from durian husk by chemical activation technique using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as activating agent. It is then carbonized and activated. The active carbon is the sieved between 300- 600 mm. The active carbon is then characterised accord...
