The adsorption kinetics of nickel (II) in aqueous solution with activated carbon from coconut shell was studied by measuring the nickel concentration in the solution (C) as a function of time (t). The parameters studied in this study were adsorption temperature (T), particle diameter of activated carbon (d), and mass ratio of activated carbon to aqueous solution (r). It was found that the adsorption rate increased with the increase of the adsorption temperature and the mass ratio of activated carbon to aqueous solution. On the contrary, it was found that the rate of adsorption decreased with increasing the particle diameter of the activated carbon.
