ABSTRACT
This study explored the effect of activated carbon preparation conditions on their adsorption performance. Activated carbon prepared from Wood chips of Prosopis juliflora has been utilized as the adsorbent for the removal of Eriochrome Black T from an aqueous solution. Prosopis juliflora was used as source material to prepare activated carbon by pyrolysis process using H3PO4 activation. The adsorption properties were evaluated by IDOINE NUMBER. The effects of various H3PO4 impregnation ratios, temperature and time on physical characteristics of the activated carbon were investigated. The Characterization of produced activated carbon will be determined by SEM analysis. The best activated carbons were obtained at a temperature of 300◦C with the impregnation ratio 1:2, In which the value of Iodine number is 917.12 mg/g which infers that it has high Micro Pores when compared to others ratios. Prosopis juliflora based activated carbon could be employed as a low cost alternative to commercial activated carbon in the removal of Eriochrome Black T dye from wastewater.
