Experimental study on activated charcoal from Acacia mangium by using "fluidized bed" gasification is presented in this paper. Tire result shows that yield ranges from 14. 79 to 25. 03 %, moisture content from 9.17 to 14.42 %, ash content from 2.36 to 2.94, volatile matter from 7.44 to 9. 79 %, fixed carbon from 73.28 to 80. 71 %. adsorptive capacity of benzene from 1.38 to 18.56 % and adsorptive iodine from 511.37 to 961.87 %.Based on adsorptive capacity of iodine, the maximum activation reaction time is 45 minutes. At this time the adsorptive of iodine is 961.87 which meet American and Indonesian standard.
