Abstract
The production of chemically activated carbon from Carica Papaya Seed (CPS) was experimentally investigated using laboratory scale muffle furnace. The effects of process variables such as time, temperature and chemical reagents were explored. In this research work, physicochemical properties,
effect of time and temperature on devolitization of Carica Papaya Seed (CPS) were determined using standard methods previous used for similar determination before it was used to produce activated carbon by 2-step method usingActivatingAgents (AA) ZnCl2 and 0.1MH3PO4.
