A Preliminary Study on the Preparation of Activated Carbon from Cyrtosperma chamissonis Petioles via Single Step H₃PO₄ Activation

Abstract:

In this study, highly porous activated carbon was prepared from Cyrtosperma chamissonis petioles via single step H₃PO₄ activation. The effect of impregnation temperature (RT – 90 °C) on the yield, porosity and surface area was investigated. The synthesized activated carbons were characterized by Na₂S₂O₃ volumetric method, SEM/EDX and N₂ adsorption-desorption analyses. The optimization investigation clearly showed that the impregnation temperature affected on the yield and the specific surface area of the materials. Under the optimum impregnation temperature of 75 °C, the registered iodine number and BET surface area were 1129.23 mgg^-1 and 1390.41 m²g^-1 respectively with yield percentage of 35.82. This preliminary study proves the successful conversion of plant waste into value added porous materials.
