Activated carbon pellets (ACPs), precursor (palm leaves) (Phoenix dactylifera L.), are primarily heated at low temperatures and milled into a
fine grain powder to produce self-adhesive properties. The grain powders produced were impregnated in KOH solutions having a concentration
of 0–0.35 moles (M) and pelletized by applying 12 metric tons of pressure, before being carbonized at 700°C, in a nitrogen environment. The
thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal gravimetric analysis (DTGA) were carried out on the pre-carbonized date palm leaves.
The results showed that with increasing KOH concentration, the weight loss of the sample markedly decreased. The young modulus (E) showed
that 0.25 M has a higher value of 10.6 GPs than the others, indicating better grain particle alignment. The porosity (B) of the AC was estimated .. Read More»
