520 |a The aim of this study was to prepare activated carbon from tobacco stalks using microwave heating. The prepared activated carbon was applied as an adsorbent in methylene blue (MB) removal from water. The optimum conditions for activated carbon preparation were a radiation power of 280 W for a period of 6 minutes after the impregnation of the precursor material with 30% ZnCl2 for 24 hours. The activated carbon yield and iodine number were 49.43% and 1,264.51 mg/g respectively. The activated carbon also had a point of zero charge of 5.81 with an adsorption capacity of 123.45 mg/g for MB. The optimum conditions for MB adsorption were a pH of 6.5 with an adsorbent dosage of 0.2 g/50 mL at 25 °C. The MB adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo second order kinetic model with the intra-particle diffusion model suggesting a two-step adsorption mechanism. The adsorption data also fitted well within the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Tobacco stalks can successfully be turned into an economically important product
