Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is one of the promising wastes that can be converted into a valuable product such as activated carbon (AC) which is applicable for adsorption applications. The main objective of this work is to prepare and characterize the morphological surface properties of AC from EFB which is suitable for the adsorption of dye compounds and methylene blue application. AC was prepared by KOH impregnation with ultrasonic power and physical activation using a tube furnace. The influences of activation time using ultrasonic power (0, 45, 90 min) and activation time (300, 500, 700˚C) on the properties of the AC were analyzed. The surface morphology of activated carbon was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The samples were prepared using an ultrasonic method for 45 minutes during impregnation time. It is observed that the development of the pore increases as the chemical impregnation and ultrasonic time and activation temperature increase. EFB is identified as a suitable material for AC production as it is capable to develop the AC physical properties via specific processes and methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
