Optimization of Activated Carbons Prepared by H3PO4 and Steam Activation of Oil Palm Shells

In this study, activated carbons were prepared from oil palm shells by physicochemical activation. The methodology of experimental design was used to optimize the preparation conditions. The influences of the impregnation ratio (0.6–3.4) and the activation temperature between 601°C and 799°C on the...
