Abstract

The production of activated carbon from agricultural by‐products is a research field of increasing interest as it deals with the problem of the disposal of agro‐residues, at the same time producing an added‐value product that can be used in a number of environmental applications. The paper presents an overview of the latest developments in processes for the production of activated carbon from agricultural by‐products, with emphasis on the methodology applied, the effect of critical process parameters such as retention time, temperature, chemical to material ratio, as well as the adsorbing capacity of the activated carbons produced in removing select compounds from synthetic and real wastewaters. Agricultural by‐products can be a source for activated carbon production with high surface areas and high adsorption capacity. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry

Chars, prepared by pyrolysis of prune pits at I or lS"C/min to 500, 700 or 9OO"C, were subsequently gasified by CO, at 900°C. Pyrolysis conditions did not significantly affect the porosity developed for a given mass loss due specifically to gasification reactions, i.e. excluding additional pyrolytic

Surplus, low value agricultural by-products can be made into granular activated carbons (GACs) which are used in environmental remediation. This study characterized and evaluated GACs, made from these feedstocks, as e †ective removers of organics and metals from water. The by-products included soft

Devolatilization of an Illinois-basin coal was carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere in the temperature range 600 to 900°C. A vertical heated-wall fixed-bed furnace reactor was used. Char produced was activated in the presence and absence of steam using the same furnace setup. The surface area of
