“…Pyrolysis of PKS without catalysts produced a significant amount of fatty oxygenates. High fatty acid yield from non-catalytic pyrolysis of PKS is consistent with the results from oil seed wastes obtained in a previous study (Sricharoenchaikul and Atong, 2009), because the PKS is a remnant from oil extraction and likely contains oil residue in the shell cake (Kim et al, 2013). These compounds were derived predominantly from devolatilization and pyrolysis of the fatty acids and triglycerides present in the PKS.…”

“…Furthermore, it was found that the residual weight of PS treated in HF (B) is lower than that without HF treatment (A). This might be because HF removes the ash from the raw material [9], [10]. …”

Abstract-In this research, biodiesel wastes such as palm shells (PS) and Jatropha curcas fruit shells (JS) were used for the synthesis of activated carbon by chemical activation method using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an activating agent. The effects of acidic treatment in hydrofluoric acid (HF), impregnation ratio, activation temperature and activation time on the adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB) and iodine (I 2 ) solution were examined. The results showed that HF-treated activated carbons exhibited high adsorption capacities by eliminating ash residues, which might fill up the pores. In addition, the adsorption capacities of methylene blue and iodine solution were also significantly influenced by the types of raw materials, the activation temperature and the activation time. The highest adsorption capacity of methylene blue of 257.07 mg/g and iodine of 847.58 mg/g were obtained from Jatropha curcas wastes.Index Terms-Activated carbon, biodiesel wastes, Jatropha curcas fruit shells (JS), palm shells (PS).

“…The crushed solid residue contains toxic compounds that prohibit its use as animal fodder. Reports indicate that 2.5e3.0 tons of this material is generated for every ton of biodiesel product [13,14]. DJW is typically disposed by anaerobic digestion to produce biogas; however, pretreatment methods need to be developed to maximize its productivity.…”
