Popis: Activated carbon with high surface area was prepared from sodium salt of carboxyl methyl cellulose by physical activation at 400 °C followed by treatment in boiling water. The carbon was characterized by XRD, SEM, EPR, TG, IR, surface areas and porosity measurements. The carbon showed alkaline reaction in aqueous solution. It showed high surface area and pore volume in comparison to two commercially available carbons.
