Preparation of Activated Carbon From Walnut Peel And Polypropylene Waste.

Abstract

This research involves the preparation of micro and nano activated carbon from Walnut Peel by microwave carbonization process. then (50)% of phosphoric acid solution was used  to carbonated material  at different times (2,4,8,16,24) hours to identify the best activation time, under the same conditions and at a time (8)hr, various weight   ratio(1;0.25,1;0.2,1;0.15,1;0.1,1;0.05) of waste P.P to raw material were used to prepare the activated carbon samples. At study, the effectiveness and   efficiency of the activated carbon samples increase when waste P.P with a phosphoric acid solution and microwave carbonization was used. All measurements which carried out to determine the effectivity and efficiency prepared samples where included the measurement of the adsorption of the methyl blue dye from their aqueous solution and iodine number as well as measurements of moisture content, ash ratio and density.

Also some samples were characterized by Filed-Emission Scanning Electron microscopy (FSEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX).
