ABSTRACT
The synthesis of activated carbon from durian peel activated with Na2CO3 (ACDSB) was achieved.
Several factors affecting the adsorption capacity of Reactive Red dye (RR 120) on ACDSB-activated
carbon by the static adsorption method were investigated. Results showed that the time to reach
adsorption equilibrium was 30 minutes, the best adsorbent pH for RR 120 was 3, and the optimum
mass of material was 2.5 g/L. The adsorption behavior of RR 120 on ACDSB adheres to the Langmuir,
Freundlich, Tempkin, and Elovich isotherms of adsorption. The adsorption process of RR 120 on
ACDSB-activated carbon follows the second-order kinetics equation, spontaneous, endothermic,
physical, and chemical adsorption.
