The present study details the synthesis and characterisation of iron (Fe) doped activated carbon from Alstonia Scholaris (AS-Fe) natural wood waste. Investigation addresses the utilization of natural wood waste for useful and potential high temperature Alstonia Scholaris activated carbon (HT-AS). Iron doped activated carbon (AS-Fe) is used for the treatment of industrial waste water. Activated carbon and utilization performances are well attributed to the preparation methods and hence a range of characteristic interpretation like Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray powder diffraction, UV-Vis spectra, Field emission Scanning Electron Microscopes (FE-SEM) and EDAX analysis are evaluated. The result of AS-Fe is well distinguished by comparing the features with the porous high temperature Alstonia Scholaris activated carbon (HT-AS). High-performing iron doped activated carbon (AS-Fe) developed from natural wood waste reveals a distinct advantage in the adsorption approach for the removal of organics such as synthetic textile colours from industrial wastewater.
