Effect Of The Polymeric Structure On Activity Activated Carbon

Abstract

In this word, The activated carbon was prepared using waste polymers (rubbers, melamine and novolac) as raw materials. First carbonized was conduced at 350 °C for 3 hrs. The carbonized materials was activated by impregnation in 5% solution of zinc chloride for different periods of time at room temperature. The purified samples obtained from various experiments were evaluated by measuring the ability of active carbon to the adsorption of methylene blue and iodine. Moreover, density, humidity and ash content were measured and compared with the commercial sample.
