Oil Palm Shell-Derived Activated Carbon: Adsorption Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Interaction Mechanism for Lufenuron 50-EC Pesticide.

ABSTRACT: Activated carbon (AC) was synthesized from oil palm shell (OPS) through physical (AC-800-2 and AC-900-2) and chemical (AC-750-1.5-3:1 and AC-800-1-2:1) activation processes in a carbon dioxide atmosphere. KOH was used as an activating agent in the impregnation process in the case of chemical activation. The synthesized ACs were characterized by proximate and ultimate analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and textural properties of the samples. The tested properties, including surface area (S _BET), pore volume (V_T), and average pore size (S_P), were determined by the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) method and the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) model.
