“…Indeed, the methylene blue molecule has an area 15 of 2.08 nm 2 and can only enter in large micropores and mesopores. 5 The iodine molecule is relatively small with an area 15 of 0.4 nm 2 and can enter in the smaller micropores.…”

Data of methylene blue number and iodine number of activated carbons samples were calibrated against the respective surface area, micropore volume and total pore volume using multiple regression. The models obtained from the calibrations were used in predicting these physical properties of a test group of activated carbon samples produced from several raw materials. In all cases, the predicted values were in good agreement with the expected values. The method allows extracting more information from the methylene blue and iodine adsorption studies than normally obtained with this type of material.

“…Water contaminated with phenolic compounds possess both unpleasant odour and flavour and is poisonous to flora and fauna even in low concentrations (5 μg L -1 ) [5] and is thereby considered as a major water pollutant [6,7]. As per World Health Organisation (WHO) norms, the maximum permissible concentration of phenol in potable water should not exceed 1 mg L -1 [5].…”

“…Inexpensive substances with high carbon content and low inorganic content are potential raw materials for activated carbon production. The most frequently used raw materials for manufacturing activated carbon are coal (Chattopadhyaya et al, 2006;Jibril et al, 2007;Pietrzak et al, 2007), wood wastes (Girods et al, 2009), lignite, pistachio nut shells (Lua and Yang, 2005), corncobs (Cao et al, 2006), coconut shells (Achaw and Afrane, 2008), walnut shells (Kim et al, 2001;Martinez et al, 2006), mango pits (Elozalde-Gonzalez and Hernandez-Montoya, 2007), tobacco stems (Li et al, 2008), coffee bean husks (Baquero et al, 2003), cherry stones (Oilvares-Marin et al, 2007), olive pits (Lafi, 2001;Stavropoulos and Zabaniotou, 2005), and sawdust (Ismadji et al, 2005).…”

Commercial activated carbon is a highly effective absorbent that can be used to remove micropollutants from water. As a result, the demand for activated carbon is increasing. In this study, we investigated the optimum manufacturing conditions for producing activated carbon from ligneous wastes generated from food processing. Jujube seeds and walnut shells were selected as raw materials. Carbonization and steam activation were performed in a fixed-bed laboratory electric furnace. To obtain the highest iodine number, the optimum conditions for producing activated carbon from jujube seeds and walnut shells were 2 hr and 1.5 hr (carbonization at 700 C) followed by 1 hr and 0.5 hr (activation at 1000 C), respectively. The surface area and iodine number of activated carbon made from jujube seeds and walnut shells were 1,477 and 1,184 m 2 /g and 1,450 and 1,200 mg/g, respectively. A pore-distribution analysis revealed that most pores had a pore diameter within or around 30-40 Å, and adsorption capacity for surfactants was about 2 times larger than the commercial activated carbon, indicating that waste-based activated carbon can be used as alternative.Implications: Wastes discharged from agricultural and food industries results in a serious environmental problem. A method is proposed to convert food-processing wastes such as jujube seeds and walnut shells into high-grade granular activated carbon. Especially, the performance of jujube seeds as activated carbon is worthy of close attention. There is little research about the application of jujube seeds. Also, when compared to two commercial carbons (Samchully and Calgon samples), the results show that it is possible to produce high-quality carbon, particularly from jujube seed, using a one-stage, 1,000 C, steam pyrolysis. The preparation of activated carbon from food-processing wastes could increase economic return and reduce pollution.
