Abstract

Palm shell was used to prepare activated carbon using potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) as activating agent. The influence of carbonization temperatures (600-1000 °C) and impregnation ratios (0.5-2.0) of the prepared activated carbon on the pore development and yield were investigated. Results showed that in all cases, increasing the carbonization temperature and impregnation ratio, the yield decreased, while the adsorption of CO₂ increased, progressively. Specific surface area of activated carbon was maximum about 1170 m²/g at 800 °C with activation duration of 2 h and at an impregnation ratio of 1.0.
