Abstract :Activated carbons have an essential role and wide usage area from the energy storage industry to water and air cleaning systems. In this study, activated carbon had synthesized from three different biomass eggplant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Solanum melongena); stalks, Banana insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Musa sapientum);, and Orange insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Citrus sinensis); peels. Carbonization has accomplished at 1200 °C for 2 hours. After that, 4N of Sulfuric acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H2SO4); had used as an activated agent for 24 hours of impregnation. Finally, the activated carbons had optimized according to the Indonesian National Standard measurement, SNI 06-3730-1995.5 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(maximum water content 15%, maximal ash content 10%, maximal vapor content 25%, and minimal bounded carbon 60%);. According to result, the water content of Eggplant stalk, banana, and orange peels are 13.8 %, 21.9 % and 19.3 %; Ash content 6.50 %, 8.50 % and 22.4 %; Vapor content 15.5 %, 26.2 %, and 22.8 %; Bounded carbon content 78.0 %, 65.3 %, and 54.8 % were found. Finally, the Stalk of eggplant has provided the best biomass for producing activated carbon.
