Abstract

The research Aims to study the effect of the type of reactor (rust-resistant iron, Cupper, Aluminum, pyrex, tin-galvanized iron, pottery) on the properties of activated carbon prepared from the wood of the Lead Tree, after conducting a primary carbonization process for wood at a temperature of ( 350 °C) ,for a period of (3 hours) and after The carbonated substance is treated with potassium hydroxide in a ratio of (1:1) (potassium hydroxide: the carbonated substance), and then the carbonization and  activation process takes place at a temperature of
(25 + 550 °C) for 2 hours,
after which the activated carbon prepared in the various reactors is purified and then a process is carried out Evaluation of the prepared activated carbon such as (Iodine number, methylene blue dye, moisture , density, ash content) and comparison of the results obtained from the use of different reactors.
