Abstract EN
Kurdistan walnut shell (KWS) was examined for preparation of activated carbon using sodium hydroxide as chemical agent.
The characterisations of the Kurdistan walnut shell activated carbon by sodium hydroxide (WSAC-NaOH) were studied using different techniques.
pH of point of zero charge (pHpzc), iodine number and proximate analysis.
The adsorption of methylene blue by prepared activated carbon was analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms.
The data fitted well to the Freundlich isotherm with the maximum adsorption capacity = 344.8 mg/g for Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
The analysis showed that the activated carbon derived from walnut shell activated by sodium hydroxide is more capable than commercial activated carbon (CAC) and can be used as a possible adsorbent.
