Abstract

The solid residue from the pyrolytic liquefaction of rice husk, known as pyrolytic carbon, was used as starting material to prepare activated carbon. Pyrolytic carbon was pretreated by NaOH solution at 100 °C for 5 h to remove SiO2, thereby obtaining samples with low surface area. The samples were activated under N2 atmosphere at 650, 700, 750, 800, or 850 °C with different activation times, obtaining activated carbon samples. Activated carbon samples were characterized by BET, XRD and SEM. The optimized conditions were the following: 750 °C activation under N2 for 1.5 h. The prepared activated carbon had a surface area of 470 m2 g-1. The highest phenol adsorption capacity of the activated carbon from water was 60.98 mg g-1 and the iodine adsorption capacity reached 586.30 mg g-1. The pseudo-second order kinetics and Langmuir models were determined to fit the adsorption experimental data.
