Abstract EN
Activated carbons are regularly used the treatment of dye wastewater.
They can be produced from various organics materials having high level of carbon content.
In this study, a novel Pinang frond activated carbon (PFAC) was produced at various CO2 flow rates in the range of 150–600 mL/min at activation temperature of 800°C for 3 hours.
The optimum PFAC sample is found on CO2 flow rate of 300 mL/min which gives the highest BET surface area and pore volume of 958 m2/g and 0.5469 mL/g, respectively.
This sample shows well-developed pore structure with high fixed carbon content of 79.74%.
The removal of methylene blue (MB) by 95.8% for initial MB concentration of 50 mg/L and 72.6% for 500 mg/L is achieved via this sample.
The PFAC is thus identified to be a suitable adsorbent for removing MB from aqueous solution.
