  Author(s): Fatima Musbah Abbas*, Ahlam Khalofa, Abubaker Elsheikh Abdelrahman and Selma Elsheikh Abdelrahman
  
  Activated Carbon (AC) is a porous material widely utilized in energy storage, electromagnetic wave absorption and, among many other applications. Despite the economic and environmental benefits of recycling date palm leaves (Phoenix dactylifera L.) into AC, there is limited research on the characterization of AC produced via date palm leaves, particularly in pellet form. The study aims to evaluate the structure, mechanical and electrical properties of “Activated Carbon Pellets (ACPs)” derived from “Pre-Carbonized Date Palm Leaves (PCDPLs)” with varying concentrations of LiCl. The ACPs were ball-milled, treated with LiCl and pelletized before undergoing carbonization at 700 °C. The resulting Activated Carbon Pellets (ACPs) were analyzed for particle size distribution, bulk density, Young’s Modulus (YM), crystallite.. Read More»
