The adsorption of Methylene blue by the activated carbons prepared from a locally available material Lapsi Seed Stone has been studied. Various activated carbons were prepared by varying the parameters such as ratio of Lapsi seed stone particles to Phosphoric acid, carbonization temperature and carbonization time. Determination of Methylene blue numbers of the activated carbons was done by single point method by batch mode. Methylene blue number is found to be affected by the various preparation conditions like carbonization temperature, carbonization time, ratio of activating agent and Lapsi seed stone particles and the concentration of phosphoric acid. The optimum conditions for the preparation of activated carbon are found to be carbonization temperature 400°C for 4 hours at the ratio of 1:1 Lapsi seed stone particles and Phosphoric acid.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2016, 12(1): 169-174

 The adsorption of Iodine by the activated carbons prepared from a locally available material Lapsi Seed Stone has been studied. Various activated carbons were prepared by varying the parameters such as ratio of Lapsi Seed Stone particles to Phosphoric acid, percentage of phosphoric acid concentration, carbonization temperature and carbonization time. Determination of Iodine numbers of the activated carbons was done by the standard method. The effect of various preparation conditions on Iodine number of different activated carbons is also investigated. The optimum conditions for the preparation of activated carbon are found to be 400 ° C -the carbonization temperature, 4 hours - the carbonization time, 1:1- the ratio of Lapsi Seed Stone particles and Phosphoric acid and 50 %- the percentage of phosphoric acid concentration.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2017, 13(1): 139-144

In order to reduce power plant nitric oxide emission with gaining economical adsorbent, activated carbon was prepared from the raw materials of orange peel under different operating conditions in this paper. The methylene blue adsorption value of different activated carbon has also been tested, and the effects on the methylene blue adsorption performance of different dipping concentration, activation time and carbonization temperature were studied. The finding is that the dipping concentration has the most important impact on methylene blue adsorption value. The highest methylene blue adsorption value of orange peel activated carbon has shown as 277.746mg/g under the following conditions: phosphoric acid concentration was 40%, activation time was 12 hours and carbonization temperature was 500°C. It is a economically feasible absorbent material through a great deal of experiments and analysis.

Activation Mechanisms

Activated carbons were prepared by chemical activation from scrap tire with two chemical reagents, NaOH and KOH. The activation consisted of different impregnation of a reagent followed by carbonization in nitrogen at 700°C. The resultant activated carbons were characterized in terms of BET surface area, methylene blue adsorption and iodine number. The influence of each parameter of the synthesis on the properties of the activated carbons was discussed, and the action of each hydroxide was methodically compared. It is the first time that preparation parameters and pore texture characteristics are simultaneously considered for two closely related activating agents of the same char precursor. Whatever the preparation conditions, it was shown that KOH led to the most microporous materials, having surface areas and adsorption properties (methylene blue adsorption and iodine number) higher than those obtained with NaOH, which was in agreement with some early works. However, the surface areas, methylene blue adsorption and iodine number obtained in the present study were much higher than in previous studies, up to 951 m2/g, 510 mg/g and 752 mg/g, respectively, using scrap tire waste char:KOH equal to 1:1. The thorough study of the way each preparation parameter influenced the properties of the final materials bought insight into the activation mechanisms. Each time it was possible; the results of scrap tire waste chemically activated with hydroxides were compared with those obtained with anthracites; explanations of similarities and differences were systematically looked for.

Activated carbon was prepared from Lapsi (Choerospondias axillaries ) seed stone by chemical activation method using ZnCl2. The effect of experimental variables; ZnCl2 ratio, temperature and carbonization time on the quality of the activated carbon were systematically invested by determining the carbon yield, iodine number, methylene blue number, surface area and pore volume. Lapsi seed stone powder (LSP) of particle size < 300 μm was used to prepare activated carbon under N2 atmosphere. An increase in ZnCl2 ratio in general increased the iodine number and methylene blue number, but on increasing zinc chloride above 50 percentages, iodine and methylene blue number increased only marginally. An increase in carbonization temperature increases the iodine number, methylene blue number, and surface area and pore volume. Increase in carbonization time from 3 hour to 4 hour increases iodine number and methylene blue number and thereafter the increase in iodine number and methylene blue number is gradual. Regarding the carbon yield, it decreases with the ZnCl2 ratio above 50 percent, and the yield also decreases with increase in temperature and carbonization time. Therefore the optimum conditions for the preparation of activated carbon from Lapsi seed stone using ZnCl2 as follows: carbonization temperature of 400°C, zinc chloride ratio as LSP:ZnCl2 equals 1:1, and carbonization time of 4 hour. This resulted an activated carbon with 791 iodine number, 364 methylene blue number, 1167 surface area and 0.65 pore volume.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2015, 11(1): 128-139

Water contamination caused by the presence of synthetic dye is one of the world's major environmental concerns. This work aims to explore the potential application of non-carbonized phosphoric acid-treated Balanites aegyptiaca "heglig" seed husks powder (BASHP) as a bio-sorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from water bodies. BASHP was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The characteristics of BASHP, such as the iodine number, point of zero charges, solubility, and specific surface area (SMB) were also estimated. The biosorption of MB onto the BASHP surface was studied in batch mode under various conditions (contact time, shaking speed, solution temperature, initial solution pH, ionic strength, initial dye concentration, and biosorbent dosage). The adsorption kinetics and isotherm were better described by pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. More than 97% of MB was removed, and the maximum biosorbed amount of MB (qmax) was 72.99 mg/g. Thermodynamics findings revealed that the proposed biosorption is an endothermic and spontaneous process. These findings showed that BASHP is a potentially eco-friendly, easily available, and low-cost material for removing hazardous dyes (e.g., methylene blue) from an aquatic environment, as well as a promising method for reducing agricultural solid waste (e.g., seed husks).
