  "abstract": "<p>Sugar colourants are water soluble compounds present in sugar process products and the most impurities in sugar industry. Syrup decolorization can be achieved by sulphitation process. However, at the same time the formation of fine precipitate of CaSO4 become difficult to eliminate trace of SO2 in final sugar. The aims of this research were to produce activated carbon from peanut shell using KOH as an activating agent for syrup decolorization with lower color and lower residual sulfur dioxide levels and as an alternative waste management method. In this study, the first stage was producing granular activated carbon from peanut shell at different parameters such as: activation temperature (500oC, 600oC and 700oC), KOH concentration (25, 50 and75%wt.) and particle size (0.5, 1.5 and 2.5mm).</p>",
