- Preparation and characterization of activated carbon from cashew nut shell of methylene blue (MB) adsorption in aqueous solution had been investigated. The preparation performed by the method of carbonization, physical activation by nitrogen gas and chemical activation with 5 M HNO3. Characterization of activated carbon includes determining of aciditity gravimetric method, acid-base titration and infrared spectrophotometric (IR). Crystalinity by X-ray diffraction, specific surface area, total pore volume and pore average radius using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Morphology by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Activity of the activated carbon in adsorption of MB was perfomed by determining the optimum adsorption conditions included the optimization of pH, contact time, initial concentration, adsorption isotherm, adsorption kinetics, adsorption capacity and adsorption energy were determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that the largest cashew nut shell activated carbon mass reduction of 29.49% through of physical activation at temperature of 850 o C and optimum time was 150 min. Aciditity of activated carbon highest through of chemical activation with treatment HNO3 5 M was obtained at the optimum time 30 min. The aciditity of activated carbon by gravimetric method was 4.00 mmol/g and acid-base titration was 16.26 mmol/g, crystalinity increased by 69.23%, pore volume 2.736 ï� ́ 10 -3 cm 3 /g and average pore radius 66.91 Ã�. The maximum adsorption capacity of activated carbon of MB fitted Langmuir isotherm was 4.00 mg/g and adsorption energy 27.07 kJ/mol at pH of 10 and 60 min. Kinetics adsorption of MB on activated carbon by initial concentration MB of 25 and 50 mg/L following the reaction of second pseudo order by rate constant adsorption of 0.911 g/mg.min and 0.545 g/mg.min. Adsorption isotherm of MB on activated carbon by initial concentration MB of 25 and 50 mg/L following the model of Langmuir by adsorption capacity of 0.985 mg/g and 2.439 mg/g.
