Summary:This study involves producing activated carbon from Ceiba Pentandra seed by using a physical activation method to adsorb Cu(II) from synthetic wastewater. Ceiba Pentandra seed was carbonized and activated using CO2 using a microwave heating process. The process was optimized using Design-Expert version 11. The interactions between different process conditions towards the Cu(II) adsorption were analyzed. The optimum radiation power, radiation time and CO2 flow were found out 264 Watt, 4 minutes and 100 cm3, respectively for the maximum Cu(II) removal.
