Preparation and characterization of activated carbon from Lantana camara

:The carbon substance known as "activated carbon" has a very porous, amorphous structure. They can adsorb organic pollutants and heavy metals thanks to its active surface. In the current study, Lantana camara was impregnated with orthophosphoric acid using 1:1 impregnation ratio produce activated utilizing chemical activation approach. With an time of one hour, temperatures employed were 500 °C, 550 600 650 700 °C.This study shows that, while adsorption capacity increases increased temperature, synthesis decreases temperature rises. According this highest amount iodine occurs when is formed at °C.
