Preparation of Active Carbon In The Alkline Media From Walnut peel and Residues of Poly ethyleneterphthalate

Abstract

The solid Walnut peel, Consists of allignin polymer, cellulose and hemicellulose, were used for thermal carbonization at 450 ° C and then thermal carbonization was obtained with sodium hydroxide as alkline media with polyethyleneterphthalate residues as additive and added :(1:2: 0.1, 1: 2: 0.2, 1: 2: 0.3, 1: 2: 0.4, 1: 2: 0.5). For each of the wood ,base and additive Sequentially.The presence of the base with the polymeric additive increased the efficiency and effectiveness of activated carbon, The excess of additive under the same conditions lead to improve the specification of the prepared activated carbon samples because of the fast removal of hydrogen from the mixture which lead to increase the carbon content of carbonated massThe efficiency and effectiveness of the prepared samples and commercial activated carbon were investigated by adsorption of blue dye from water solution and iodine adsorption from water solution furthermore, the measurements were carried out to determine the density, ash content and moisture content. The efficiency and effectiveness of activated carbon samples in this work were better than Commercial activated carbon. The samples were characterized by AFM, SEM and FT-IR Techniques
