Abstract : Porous activated carbon (PAC) powder is prepared from solid bio-waste - cow dung samples (CD). UV- Spectroscopy confirms the absorption rate of activated porous biochar at different concentration solutions(in ppm).The activation process is carried out by phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide treatment followed by calcination at different temperature condition. XRD pattern confirms the amorphous phase formation with graphitic nature for different precursor utilization. SEM analysis shows the uniform and hierarchical porous network formation and aggregated particle with tiny. X- ray analysis confirms the formation of graphitic carbon and porous morphology for sample activated at increased calcination temperature. The elemental composition of as prepared carbon samples is determined by SEM and confirms the formation major carbon content existence. The obtained product is observed for the dye removal process wherein the specific amount of PAC is added to the Methylene Blue(MB) dye solutions and the absorption rate is observed through uv-spectroscopy.
