“…Afterward, carbonization was carried out inside a 450 C furnace tube for 2 h. The sample showed a maximum adsorption capacity of 36.12 and 36.98 mg/g for metal ions Cr(VI) and Pb(II), respectively. The maceration method can also be carried out as physical modification, which has been done by Harumi et al, 15 by soaking the milled mangosteen peels in 100 mL aquadest for 24 h and drying the sample afterward in the oven for another 24 h. The experiment was conducted in various temperatures, resulting in 67.11, 74.64, and 80.64 mg/g maximum adsorption capacity for Au(III) at temperatures 40, 50, and 60 C, respectively. Mangosteen peel itself is mainly composed of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose, which is a lignocellulose-based material, which is good for activated carbon material.…”
