Studies on the Characterization of Azadirachtaindica L. Bark Activated Carbon and Vignaunguiculata L. Seed Shell Activated Carbon

Abstract

            The attempt was made to study a number ofcharacterizationsforAzadirachtaindica L. Bark Activated Carbon and Vignaunguiculata  L. Seed Shell Activated Carbon.  The number of parameters of characterization such as  pH, conductivity,bulk density, moisture content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash content, solubility in 0.25 M HCl, solubility in water, porosity,specific gravity, phenol adsorption capacity, particle size and surface area. The instrumental studies are done by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic Study and Scanning Electron Microscope Study for activated carbons.  Based on the above studies, predict the efficiency of activated carbons to use for removal dyes impurities present in aqueous solution.
