Production of porous carbon particles involved several steps: (i) burning rice straw waste; (ii) ball-mill process; and (iii) the activation treatment. To achieve the optimum process in the activation treatment, the concentration of activating agent (i.e. potassium hydroxide) was varied. Experimental results showed that this method is effective to create porous carbon particles. Control of the porosity is also possible by managing the amount of activation agent (i.e. potassium hydroxide). The higher concentration of activation agent has a direct correlation to produce more cavities in the material. The study also confirms that the change in porosity has a direct impact to the ability of the product for adsorbing molecules. Since the present method is converting rice straw waste into useful and valuable porous carbon particles, further development of this study would give a positive impact for the reduction of rice straw waste emission. © School of Engineering, Taylor�s University. date: 2017 publisher: Taylor's University official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85038859532&partnerID=40&md5=fa40a1c8322f8c8b95c871d7cf022b75 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Engineering Science and Technology volume: 12 number: Specia pagerange: 1-11 refereed: TRUE issn: 18234690 citation: Nandiyanto, A.B.D. and Putra, Z.A. and Andika, R. and Bilad, M.R. and Kurniawan, T. and Zulhijah, R. and Hamidah, I.
