Abstract
Today the idea of utilizing biomass from agricultural wastes as a raw material for the production of activated carbon has attracted the interest of researchers especially in agricultural-practicing countries. Experiments are conducted in lab scale using muffle furnace under static conditions in a self-generated atmosphere covering process parameters such activation temperature and time in one soaking time. Gigantochloa scortechinii semantan ;bamboo activated carbon was successfully produced at optimum condition at 800C soaking time of 2 days and with lowest activation temperature of 30 min which give highest iodine number with 1169 mg/g. These activated carbons with relatively high surface areas were prepared from with simultaneous carbonization and chemical activation. This work respond to the main concerns in the activated carbon production to get a good quality of activated carbon with higher yield and using a short-cut process which is cost-effective as well as environmental friendly.
