Abstract:Activated carbons were prepared by impregnation of crushed clean date pits in concentrated solutions of phosphoric acid or zinc chloride followed by carbonization in absence of air at 600ºC. Steam-activated carbon was prepared by gasifying 600ºCcarbonization product at 950ºC to a burn-off = 50%. KOH-activated carbon was prepared by impregnating date pitscarbonization product obtained at 450ºC in concentrated KOH solution followed by carbonization at 840ºC. Textural properties of these carbons were determined f… Show more
