Tofu waste water contains high levels of COD and BOD can be treatment by adsorption using activated charcoal. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in adsorbent stirring speed in the removal of COD and BOD levels in tofu waste water and to determine the adsorption capacity of nutmeg shell activated charcoal in the removal of COD and BOD using Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. The adsorbent used in this study was nutmeg shell activated charcoal (Myristica fragrans houtt) resulting from carbonization at 350°C and activation using 1M HCL. The adsorption process in this study used a mass of activated charcoal 2; 4; 6; 8 grams and stirring speed variations of 60 rpm and 120 rpm. The results of this study showed that activated charcoal of nutmeg shell which had been activated with 1M HCL was able to reduce COD levels from 6261 mg/L to 1127 mg/L and BOD from 3000 mg/L to 1834 mg/L. The efficiency value obtained is for COD of 82.00% and BOD efficiency of 38.87%. This value was obtained from the adsorption process using 8 grams of nutmeg shell activated charcoal with a stirring speed of 120 rpm. The maximum adsorption capacity was 1069 mg/g of COD and 245 mg/g of BOD.
