This work aims to assess activated carbon (AC) production from Quercus Alba and evaluate the environmental impacts of the process using the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. The structural and optical properties of AC derived from Quercus Alba using four chemical activation agents, namely H3PO4, KOH, FeCl3, and ZnCl2, were examined. The carbon content of Quercus Alba highly increased up to 73% when KOH was used as an activator. The results showed that among the ACs examined in this study, the one activated by H3PO4 had the highest surface area. The LCA method is designed to estimate certain major environmental consequences that occur during the activation phase. SimaPro 8.2 LCA software was used and the CML 2 baseline 2000 approach was used for environmental impact assessment. The use of power in laboratory steps was the most damaging to the environment. Moreover, the …
