Preparation of activated carbon from coconut shells and additives (nylon (6.6) by means of dry fusion carbonization in alkaline medium

الملخص

The research work involve preparation of activated carbon from coconut shell
in the presence of some additive (Nylon 6.6) .Carbonisation was conducted by mixing
a known weight of the feedstock with variable quantity of the additive . Sodium
hydroxide was mixed with the feed in a ratio of 1:2 . Carbonisation completed using
fusion in solid state in the absence of solvents. Feedstock and mainly Nylon were
decompose thermally in to diamine dioxide salt .These radicals may be connected
with the survice of activated carbon aiming to increase polarity ,This was found from
the reaction it self . Physical and Chemical analysis was connected such as density,
humidity and ash content.
