Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) was prepared from pineapple leaves carbonized in the local kiln. The effects of the main variables involved in the reaction, temperature, time of reaction, and the pineapple leaves/acid ratio, were studied. In this work, the iodine adsorption number (IAN) standard method was studied to indicate its physical properties. Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) was used to analyses the surface area and also pore size. The functional groups were obtained by using the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR). The results indicated that as temperature increased the IAN and surface areas were increased. The suitable conditions for AC preparation was 700 ºC at 1:1 g/ml of AC: acid with soaking time 3 hr., resulting in IAN and surface area of 251.67 mg/g and 254.49 m2/g, respectively. The increment of IAN and surface area are 106 and 200 times comparison with carbonized pineapple leaves.
