| Summary: | The effects of material precursor selections in the quality of activated carbon produced from oil palm shell, an abundant palm-oil mill solid waste, were studied. Scanning
Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the micropore and surface condition of activated carbon. Simple
gravimetric model was developed to test LPG adsorption
rate of produced sample. The result indicates that material
size was essential to develop uniform pore size of activated
carbons. However, too small material precursor size would cause low yield and macropore during pyrolysis and
activation, respectively. The pore distributions had a
significant effect on the amount of LPG adsorbed in low pressure (2 bar). |
