study master's degree at UGM. This poster is from my research Isotherm Langmuir type I
about The Study of Synthesis and Characterization of Composite The method of making AC is carried out in 2 steps :
Activated Carbon-Metal Oxide as Adsorbent organic compounds. Physical Activation and Chemical Activation.
The effectiveness of AC is related to the pore
structrure, which have relationship with the capacity

The application of AC and AC/Al2O3 as an adsorbent Isotherm Langmuir type III
for industrial chemical and dyes waste, with batch
system.
Oil Palm Shells The adsorption ability can be seen from the effect of micropore, amorf
acidity and the Freundlich Isoterm which shows mesopore, semi crystaline
Preparation Method chemisorption or physisorption.
