Effect of carbonisation temperature and activating agents on the characteristics of activated carbon produced from oil palm empty fruit bunch

Abstract: This study aimed to analyse the effect of carbonisation temperature and type of activating agent which were best to be used in the chemical activation process in the manufacture of activated carbon from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB). The process of making activated carbon consisted of three stages, i.e. dehydration, carbonisation, and activation process. The experimental design was a randomised block design arranged as factorial with two factors, i.e. the first factor was variations of carbonisation tempe… Show more

“…Recently some researchers have proven acetic acid a better activation agent than other known agents like CaCl 2 and ZnCl 2 [ 18 ] and in modifying activated carbon for wastewater treatment and separation of CO 2 /CH 4 [ 19 ]. A known weight of 500 g of the sample was weighed into a 2 L beaker and submerged with 1 L of 10 % acetic acid solution.…”

“…In this study the best use of activator agent on iodine absorption was produced on the pangium shell material while using CaCl 2 10% solution and for the candlenut shell was reached maximum capacity when CH 3 COOH 10% solution used. H + ions from the CH 3 COOH solution diffuse into the carbon layer resulting in fractures and pore formation [23]. Pores formed will affect the absorption of iodine.…”
