Abstract
In this study, activated carbon was produced from platanus orientalis leaves and the adsorption of methylene blue onto activated carbon was investigated. Facile chemical activation route was conducted for activation process of lignocellulosic leaves. ZnCl2 was used as activating agent with different ratios. Morphological, structural and adsorption characteristics of samples were determined by using optical microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Braunauer-Emmet-Teller spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. Surface characterization showed that activation with ZnCl2 resulted high surface area (~1024 m2 g-1) and total pore volume (~0.431 cm3 g-1) compared with crude carbonized leaves samples.
