Abstract: The technology of producing furfural and activated charcoal from almond seed shells was studied by adding 2.0mol/L sulfuric acid 250.0ml per 50g shells and maintaining the temperature at 160℃ in 2.0h. The activated charcoal was produced from the residue of furfural, and the absorbability of activated charcoal reached analytically pure standard.
