Abstract
The activated carbon was prepared by using Karanja oil seeds cakes by chemical activation using Sulphuri acid (H2SO4) acid as activating agent. The effects of the Preparation variables which are activation temperature, pH and activation time on yield of the activated carbon were studied. Based on the central Composite design (CCD), a two factor interaction (2FI) model and a quadratic model were respectively developed to correlate the preparation variables to the adsorbent yield. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the most influential factor on each experimental design response was identified. The predicted adsorption yield after process optimization was found to agree satisfactory with the experimental values. The optimum conditions for preparing activated carbon from Karanja oil seed cakes were found as follows: activation temperature of 487. 64 ?C, activation time of 2 h and pH 6. 91. The characteristics and surface area of the prepared activated carbon were investigated. It was found that the specific surface area of activated was (about 343 m2/g). The XRD analysis have been done.
