| Summary: | In this document four activated carbon filters made from shells of four different types of fruit with a high carbohydratecontent are evaluated. The fruits used were: orange, pineapple, coconut and banana. The filters were evaluated for their ability toeliminate compounds present in the waters of rivers, wells, lakes, etc. This work presents the method used for the production ofactivated carbon and the procedure in conducting the turbidity and alkalinity tests carried out. The results obtained show the decreaseof the levels of alkalinity and turbidity in the water, even reaching the optimum level for human consumption. |
