UTILIZATION OF FOOD WASTE FOR PRODUCTION OF ACTIVATED CARBON

Environmental issues such as air pollution, waste disposal, global warming, climate change, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, water pollution, and many others are becoming more prevalent, affecting every human, animal, and nation on the planet. The burning of fossil fuels and waste disposal are two of the most significant causes of environmental pollution and human health. To address these issues, carbonization activation developed an activated carbon production system. Activated carbon, which is made from carbonaceous sources such as coal, coconut shells, waste food, and wood, is also available. Sewage cleaning, exhaust gas purification, gas cleaner, solvent recycling, H2S and other waste gases purification, tooth whitening, hangover protection, and skin treatment are all popular uses for activated carbon. Recycling products from waste streams saves money by reducing renewable resource use and treatment costs, such as landfill and incineration. Prepared activated carbons are thus easy to obtain, less expensive, environmentally friendly and have a high efficiency for the adsorption of dye and materials by using thermal and chemical method. In addition, the paper discussed several of effect of the parameters on activated carbon such as Raw materials and chemical Temperature, Adsorption Capacity and Surface area which effect on final properties of product. Moreover, the activated carbon samples are examined to measure their quality and porosity properties such as absorption surface, pores, density, etc. using methods of measuring and analyzing the quality of the activated carbon produced and comparing it to commercial activated carbon such as BET analysis, SEM analyzer and FTIR analyzer.
