THE STUDY OF LPG ADSORPTION ABILITY USING CARBON ADSORBENT TEST BED FOR CARBON ADSORBENT PREPARED FROM WASTE MATERIALS
The ability of adsorption can determine an excellent carbon adsorbent, which can be used as a gas storage media. The primary objective of this research is to derive a coconut and oil palm shell-based carbon adsorbent that can be applied for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage. Othe...

| Summary: | The ability of adsorption can determine an excellent carbon adsorbent, which can be used as a gas storage media. The primary objective of this research is to derive a coconut and oil palm shell-based carbon adsorbent that can be applied for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage. Other concern is to design and develop a carbon adsorbent test bed that is connected with a hydrocarbon gas detector, which can determine the LPG adsorption ability. The sample was prepared at a laboratory scale fixed-bed reactor, which is blanketed by a vertical furnace and heated up to peak temperature of 600°C, 700°C and 800°C. The results from the carbon adsorbent test bed showed that the adsorption of LPG for both prepared oil palm shell and coconut shell carbon adsorbent decreases due to the increment of peak temperature. |
