Coconut husk was used to prepare activated carbon using physiochemical activation method, consisted of potassium hydroxide (KOH) treatment and carbon dioxide (CO2) gasification. The effects of the preparation variables which were activation temperature, activation time and chemical impregnation (KOH...
