TT No. 637: Carbonisation-Activation System For The Production Of Biochar And Activated Carbon From Oil Palm Kernel Shell

The demand of activated carbon is increasing every year for many industrial applications such as water purification media, pollutant-gas adsorbent and catalyst support. Recently, many researches are focusing on the production of activated carbon from renewable resources and one of it is the palm kernel shell (PKS). One of the important application of PKS activated carbon is as bioadsorbent for palm oil mill effluent (POME) polishing treatment (Nor Faizah et al., 2016).
