| ABSTRACT In this work activated carbon has been prepared from different agricultural sources. The process of preparing activated carbon was conducted through carbonization the raw material at 350° C for 3 hrs. The carbonized product were subjected to final step of carbonization by mixing the feed stoke with potassium hydroxide (1:1) (raw materials: KOH) at 550±25° C for 3 hrs. The carbon obtained was purified by disttiled water, refluxed with 10 % hydro chloric acid for 2hrs, washed with disttled water and finally dried at 110-120° C for 24 hrs. The activated carbon obtained was evaluated by measuring (Iodine number, methylene blue, humidity content, ash content and Density) and Compared with commercial carbon from B. D. H. | ||
