Study of Kinetics of Chemically Activated Carbon Produced from Palm Kernel Shell

Okafor Vincent, Nwigbo Solomon & Dara Jude · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2016

Palm kernel shells (PKS), waste product of oil mill industrials, were used to produce activated carbon by chemically activating with ZnCl2. The shells were carbonized at temperature ranging from 500°C to 800°C, for an hour and activated with 10%, 20% and 30% concentration of ZnCl...
