Abstract

The synthesis of activated carbon from low cost agricultural wastes or by-products has received great attention from academics and researchers due to its economic and environmental benefits. A huge quantity of agriculture waste is generated globally, amongst which bamboo waste is one of the furniture wastes. In the production of bamboo furniture or construction from bamboo, a significant amount of bamboo waste is inevitably generated. Therefore, this research aimed to prepare activated carbons from bamboo furniture waste by chemical activation. The influence of carbonization time on the properties and adsorption capacities of activated carbons is determined. The prepared activated carbon is characterized by FTIR, XRF analysis together with surface properties such as area, volume and pore diameter done. The adsorption capacity of prepared activated carbon is investigated using Langmuir isotherm.
