In this study, activated carbons (ACs) from oil palm shell (OPS) were prepared using the two-stage self-generated atmosphere method, comprising of a semi-carbonization stage and a chemical activation stage, which were fixed at 300°C and 500°C respectively. The prepared adsorbents were tested in the...
