Abstract: Activated carbons were prepared from rice straw by chemical activation with phosphoric acid. The impact of immersion rate and temperature on activated carbon capability were studied by N2 adsorption, thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) analysis, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that activated carbon can be prepared at the impregnated ratio 3∶1, activation temperature 450 ℃, activation time 60 min. Under this condition, activated carbon has the characters of methylene blue value 215 mg/g,iodine value 855 mg/g,caramel A decolo-rization capacity 110 %,specific surface area 967.72 m2/g, total volume 1.23 cm3/g, mesopores 84.6 %, average pore diameter 4.6 nm.

Key words: rice straw, activated carbon, N2 adsorption, porosity
