Abstract

This study was carried out at the laboratory of Agricultural Engineering Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University and laboratory of Agricultural Engineering Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center during 2013 to 2016. The objective of this study was performance evaluation of design activated carbon prototype productivity. This aim was achieved through the following steps: 1. Collecting data and selecting agricultural residues. 2. Estimating the percentages of some properties for each agricultural residue. 3. Produce and evaluate the activated carbon from each of agricultural residues using laboratory unit at variable pyrolysis temperatures (FT) of 400, 500, 600 and 700 {u00BA}C and pyrolysis time (TF) of 1.0, 1.5 , 2.0 and 2.5 hours. 4. Design, test, evaluating and compare an activated carbon prototype and quality of its production. 5. Evaluating the performance of the designed unit. Corn stalks, trimming peach trees residues and date kernels were selected to be pyrolized as activated carbon. Through laboratory experiments; the solid materials (yield) and carbon concentration for all samples are determined at (FT) and (TF) were recorded under 400, 700, 400 {u00BA}C at 1.0, 2.0, 2.0 h for corn stalks, trimming peach trees residues and date kernels respectively. In this optimum pyrolysis process the quality of activated carbon product were tested. Experiments were carried out using designed unit at the recommended optimum variables, quantities and qualities of produced activated carbon are determined
