Abstract : A study of the effect of preparation conditions on the yield and quality of activated carbon (AC) produced from dates’ stones was made using zinc chloride as an activator. The optimum conditions for AC production was evaluated based on the determination of various adsorption parameters of methylene blue (MB) and phenol. Using MB as an adsorbate it was found that the optimum ratio of activator to dates’ stones (R) is 2. The maximum unit capacity for MB was 148 mg/g at carbonization time (Ct) = 1 hour and carbonization temperature (CT) = 600 OC and the corresponding yield was 32%. Milder conditions (Ct = 0.5 hr and CT = 500OC) produced AC with maximum adsorption capacity of 286.3 mg/g with a yield of 31%. Using phenol as an adsorbate it was found that the optimum value of R = 0.5. The maximum unit capacity for phenol was 19 mg/g at Ct = 3 hours and CT = 600 OC and AC yield of 47.3%. On the other hand milder conditions (Ct = 0.5 hr and CT = 500OC) were required to produce AC with maximum capacity for phenol removal of 75.0 mg/g and AC yield of 64.6%.
