A petroleum coke sample of Indonesian origin has been processed by both physical and chemical activation methods to produce activated carbon. The advantage of petroleum coke as a raw material for activated carbon is that a carbonization process is not needed, so it becomes an environmentally friendly process. In the physical activation process, iodine adsorption capacities of 669 mg/g and surface areas of 48 m{sup 2}/g were achieved. For chemical activation, iodine adsorption up to 1025 mg/g and surface areas up to 811 m{sup 2}/g were achieved. There is considerable development of quality using this treatment.
