Preliminary Study on the Production of Activated Carbon from Moringa Oleifera Seed Shells by Thermal Activation MethodBy B. Myek, O. B. Adesina, V. Ochigbo, M. L. Batari
Abstract: Activated carbon was prepared from Moringa oleifera seed shells by thermal activation method. The carbonization and activation temperatures were 500, 600 and 700°C respectively, at 13 min for each process after pre-carbonization for 25 min. The pH of the activated carbon produced were 9.55 at 500°C, 9.78 at 600°C and 9.97 at 700°C while the yield decreased with increase in temperature as follows: 30.40% at 500°C, 29.35% at 600°C and …
