Abstract

Activated carbon was synthesized from Iraqi date palm seeds by physical and chemical activation technique under optimized growth conditions that allow the production of long, well aligned, high-quality activated carbon. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were prepared using a sol gel method. The activated carbon/TiO2 composites were prepared using simple evaporation and a drying process. The structural, morphological and chemical properties of the prepared activated carbon, TiO2 and activated carbon/TiO2 composite were investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared and scanning electron microscope. The photocatalytic activity of activated carbon/TiO2 composite with 10 % of activated carbon was studied and compared with TiO2. The UV light photocatalytic activity was also evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of phenol in an aqueous solution.
