Spent coal-based activated carbon from the silicon industry has been used as raw material for the regeneration of activated carbon, with carbon dioxide as the regenerating agent. The regeneration process was optimised using response surface methodology and the optimum regeneration conditions were: regeneration temperature 985 degrees C; regeneration time 120 min; and carbon dioxide flow rate of 600 ml/min. The iodine number and yield of the activated carbon obtained under the optimum regeneration conditions were 1071 mg/g and 67%, with a BrunauerEmmetTeller surface area of 1270 m2/g and pore volume of 0.91 cm3/g. The regenerated carbon was tested for the removal of Methylene Blue dyes. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 395 mg/g and the equilibrium data fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model. The kinetic data indicated that the best fit corresponds to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
