Abstract | ||
This research consists to produce of activated carbon from fibers (cocus nucifera L.) via some additions. A different percentages of Adepic acid (10-40%) related to the raw material carbonization and activation had been done b y using Sodium hydroxide (1:2).The research concept was based on acid decomposition during carbonization and the probability of bi-sodium salts formation for adepic acid . That leads to a increasing the efficiency of carbonization. This process gives a positive results for the size and the number of internal and external holes for prepared activated carbon. The efficiency of carbonization increased b y increasing of the ratio of the added adepic acid and that was proved by the results of the research. The Iodine number was estimated methylene blue adsorption, measurement of ash content, density, humidity and comparing it with one of commercial samples of B. D. H company. | ||
