Abstract

In the present study, activated carbons were prepared from Punicagranatum .sp, using potassium hydroxide as activating agent. Punicagranatum .sp activated carbon(PGAC) was characterization using methylene blue number, iodine number and some physical properties such as humidity, ash content and density. The perfect measurement for this study was the proportion of (1:2.5)(wood : KOH) to give 560mg for iodine number and 67mg for methylene blue number which are good result.
