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 400°C for four hours with the KOH concentration is 0.6 M. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2013 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84872518694&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.626.887&partnerID=40&md5=32a57e1f7da7ccc033b188e436d6d0a9 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.626.887 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 626 place_of_pub: Penang pagerange: 887-891 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037855713 issn: 10226680 citation: Mokhtar, M.F. and Latib, E.H.A. and Sufian, S. and Shaari, K.Z.K.
