Physically and chemically activated carbons from oil palm shell, which is an agro-industrial waste, were prepared using CO2, H 3PO4, K3PO4 and KOH. A horizontal Carbolitc Tubular Electric Furnace at a constant temperature of 500° for 4 h was used for pyrolysing and activating the oil palm shells in...
