A low- cost activated carbon[url=https://www.wyactivatedcarbo… charcoal factory[/url] has been produced from agricultural waste using a simple method. Rice husk, corncob and wheat straw have been used as precursor for synthesis of activated carbon. A simple method involving chemical activation using NaCl has been tried for production of activated carbon. The synthesized activated carbon has been characterized using SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), EDS (Energy-dispersive-X-ray spectroscopy), BET surface area analyzer, proximate and ultimate analysis.[url=https://www.wyactivatedcarbo… carbon pellets canada[/url]The adsorption experiments were also performed to evaluate the adsorption capacity of the prepared activated carbon. The effects of contact time, adsorbent dose and solution pH on the adsorption process were studied. The applicability of the Langmuir and Frendulich isotherms to the experimental data has also been investigated.
