Cassava is a staple crop that can grow in Indonesia throughout the year and has a high adaptability to various soil conditions. Cassava or cassava can be processed into various food industries such The high carbon content of cassava peel makes it can be used as raw material for the manufacture of activated carbonas tapioca flour, fermentation industry, and other basic industries. Activated carbon is made by chemical activation of an alkaline solution. The results of the study produced activated carbon with a moisture content of 9.3406%, ash content of 6.5907%, iodine number 781,7656 mg/g . The results of the activated carbon have met the quality standard of SNI 06-3730-1995
