Abstract: Sawdust was used as precursor to prepare binderless high porosities active carbon monoliths(ACMs) with H3PO4 as activator and without binder. The influences of temperature(500-700 ℃) and activation time(1-3 h) on the properties of ACMs were analyzed by N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and compression test. The results showed that the ACMs had high specific surface area, porosity, yield, apparent density, compressive strength and total pore volume and they could reach 1 022.6 m2/g, 32.2 %, 0.62 g/cm3, 5.23 MPa, 0.49 cm3/g and 91.8 % when the activation temperature was 600 ℃ and the activation time was 1 h. The Doehlert matrix method was used to optimize the reaction conditions and the optimal temperature and time were 590 ℃ and 2.1 h. Under these conditions the yield, compressive strength and density of ACMs were 31.8%, 5.54 MPa and 0.87 g/cm3. It was found that the theoretical value was consistent with experimental value and the theoretical model was reliable.
