Research on synthetic methods for activated carbon materials from durian peels to decolorize reactive Blue 220 in textile dye wastewater
In this study, coal samples are synthesized from durian peel (the outer protective layer of durian fruit) by drying, mincing, and putting into a sieve with a fine mesh of 1-2 micrometers. Coal samples are activated by 2M NaOH solution with 1:20 (w/v) ratio for 2 hours and then heated at 700 degrees Celsius for 1 hour to create activated carbon. After preparation, samples are analyzed using advanced analytic technology such as FTIR spectroscopy and SEM.
