The present work innovates traditional way of producing activated carbon eliminating the use of reaction gases at high temperatures and corrosive chemicals. Likewise, research symbolizes a contribution to techniques of treatment of pollutants by stabilization-solidification within environmental engineering. The research proposed using cocoa mesocarp (chocolate production residue) as a precursor material for charcoal. This was subjected to temperatures of 500°C, 600°C and 700°C for times of 30 min, 60 min and 90 min respectively. Additionally, the coals obtained were ground and classified according to their diameter in fine and coarse grains. Subsequently, the adsorption capacity of each treatment with oxalic acid (C2H2O4) was evaluated at five concentrations to obtain the optimum charcoal to be used as a blank. According to the results, the treatment subjected to 600°C, 60 min, fine grain (600°C60'F) presented the best adsorption capacity. The selected carbon was subjected to ultrasound at 20 kHz at different wave amplitudes (20% and 40%) as well as exposure times (5 min, 10 min and 20 min) in order to generate new cavities that when implosing could improve their capacity of adsorption. Evaluation was made through physicochemical parameters such as kinetics and chemical equilibrium, isotherms of adsorption with C2H2O4, adsorption percentage of methylene blue and estimation of the adsorption surface, in comparison with the blank charcoal. Finally, the results show that ultrasound exposure generates a positive effect in the increase of the adsorption capacity of the charcoal, obtaining an efficiency increase of up to 41.84% and an adsorption surface of 1068.75m2 for the ultrasonic charcoal to a amplitude of 40% time 5 min (C (US)40%5').
