Comparative studies on different kind of durian husks as microstructure activated carbon

In this study, chemical activation technique was used to produce the microstructure activated carbon(MAC) with particle size of 2000 micrometer using three types of durian husks. The durian husks used were Durian D-2 (DD-2), Durian Kampung (DK)and Durian KacingBaju(DKB).The prep...
