Abstract:Cedrus deodara is an evergreen cone‐bearing tree and its bark is a common timber industry waste. Activated carbon (CDAC) was prepared from Cedrus deodara bark through Na2CO3 – activation for efficient adsorption of Pb (II) ions. D‐optimal design based on RSM revealed that optimum conditions for preparation of activated carbon involved impregnation ratio=1.02 : 1 (w/w) and pyrolysis temperature=604.7 °C. Using 0.1 g CDAC in 200 ml of 10 ppm Pb (II) solution provided 99.4 % removal at pH 6. D‐optimal design was … Show more
