ABSTRACT

The powdered activated carbon was prepared from Vitex negundo stem agricultural waste, carbonization was done at 400°Cand the chemical activation was carried out using various dehydrating agent such as H2SO4, H3PO4, ZnCl2, and KOH and activation process was carried out at 6000C for five hours and allowed cool at room temperature for four hours. The materials were grained and sieved with four different sizes 53?, 106?, 300? and 500?.The aforesaid particle size 53? was taken to further studies such as Physico-chemical parameters. The characteristic parameters were then compared with commercial activated carbon value. The instrumentation analysis such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) were performed to determine the surface morphology of prepared adsorbent. Keywords: Activated carbon, chemical activation, characterization, FTIR, SEM, BET
