Abstract

Response surface methodology based on central composite design was used as a tool to optimize the preparation of micro-/mesoporous activated carbon from plantain spike. The impact of three variables: activation temperature, activation time, and H₃PO₄ impregnation ratio, were evaluated on the iodine number and the methylene blue (MB) index according to the model-determined conditions. These three variables have been extensively studied using analysis of variance to assess their significance. Each response was described by a second-order regression equation showing good agreement between the predicted and the experimental data as the adjusted correlation coefficients were greater than 0.80. The multi-response optimized conditions have been set at the temperature of 480 °C, the activation time of 113 min, and the impregnation ratio of 3.34/1 (w/w). The activated carbon prepared in these conditions has a specific surface area of 896 m²/g with micro- and mesopore volumes of 34% and 66%, respectively. Water depollution capacity of this activated carbon evaluated by adsorption of MB and iodine was 206 mg/g and 927 mg/g, respectively.
