Özet

The present study deals with the preparation of rice hull-based activated carbon with ammonium nitrate. The obtained carbon was activated at temperatures between 400 and 900 degrees C. The rice hull-activated carbon presented a BET surface area of 456.77 m(2) g(-1) and a pore volume of 0.2406 cm(3) g(-1) at 600 degrees C. The adsorption and desorption average pore widths by BET method were found as 2.727 and 2.725 nm, respectively, whereas the Barret-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) adsorption and desorption average pore widths were 4.015 and 4.446 nm, respectively. Thus, it was found that rice hull-based activated carbon consisted of mesopores predominantly. These experimental results indicated the potential use of rice hull as a precursor in the activated carbon preparation process with ammonium nitrate. Moreover, the adsorption-desorption isotherm and the adsorption potential of the activated carbon that prepared at the optimum conditions were evaluated.
