Abstract: The objective of this work is to optimize the production of activated carbon synthesized from Zizyphus Mauritiana (L.) Lam. shells and to determine the iodine and methylene blue indices. The shells of the selected biomass are impregnated with a solution of orthophosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). The activation and pyrolysis parameters (concentration effect, impregnation rate, impregnation time, and pyrolysis temperature) were studied. The iodine and methylene blue indices were determined using the CEFFIC method. The results obtained show....
