Abstract AR
في هذه الدراسة تم استخدام جذوع النخل المحلي كمادة خام لإنتاج الكربون المنشط، عينات جذوع النخل أخضعت للمعالجة الحرارية على درجات حرارة 400، 500، و 600 درجة مئوية قبل أو بعد التنشيط الكيميائي من خلال الغمر و التحميل في محلول حمضي أو قاعدي.
تم تقييم جودة الكربون المنشط عن طريق قياس المساحة السطحية والمسامية و الكثافة و البنية.
العينات التي تم معالجتها بالحمض قبل المعالجة الحرارية أعطت نتائج جيدة من حيث المساحة السطحية مقارنة بالعينات الأخى التي أخضعت للمعالجة الحرارية بدون تنشيط كيميائي مسبق أو تلك التي تم تنشيطها كيميائيا بعد المعالجة الحرارية.
Abstract EN
Activated carbon adsorbent was prepared using Omani date palm tree stem as a precursor.
Precursor samples were Subjected to thermal treatment (at 400, 500 and 600 °C) before or after impregnation with either H3PO4 (85 wt %) or KOH (3wt %) .
The activated carbon obtained was characterized by BET (surface area and porosity) , Gas Pycnometry (true den-sity) and SEM (texture) .
Sample subjected to carbonization, without chemical activation, exhibited low surface areas ~ 1.0 m2 / g at 400 and 500 oC and 124 m2 / g at 600 oC.
Further treatment of such samples with either the acid or the base did not show improvement in surface area or other properties.
Impregnations of the precursor with acid before carbonization signif-icantly improved the surface area to as high as 1,100 m2 / g at a carbonization temperature of 500 oC.
Thus, activated carbon with a moderate surface area could be produced from date palm stem using low carbonization temperature.
