ground and sieved to a size of 0.2–0.3 mm
KOH solution containing 50 g of water or C2H5OH as
the solvent.
The mixing tire and KOH at 85 °C and lasted 3 hr

Materials
The proximate and ultimate analyses of the waste tires
are shown in table below . Before being treated, the tires
were ground and sieved to a size of 0.2–0.3 mm.
Pulverization of the tire rubber provided the rubber a
better contact with the chemical reagent during the
course of reagent impregnation.

The iodine number
The iodine number as a quality control parameter of activated carbon
The iodine number is an indication of the available surface area in
m2/gram of virgin carbon. Although the Iodine number has become
synonymous with the “activity” of activated carbon and it is widely used as
a quality control (QC) parameter in production and reactivation of
activated carbon
Generally the iodine number is 50 to 100mg/g lower compared to the BET
surface area.
