Abstract

In this study, Bambusa vulgaris was used as raw material of activated carbon. The activated carbon was generated using NaOH as an activating agent. The activated carbon produced with the weight ratio of carbon to NaOH 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and pyrolysis temperature 600, 700 and 800 °C. The experimental result showed that the best characteristic of activated carbon was obtained at weight ratio of carbon to NaOH 1:3 and pyrolysis temperature 800 °C. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
