In the past, several palm waste has been converted to activated carbon for various applications. The highly porous material is efficient for application in gas, heavy metals, and pesticide adsorption, water purification, and as the active material of electrochemical double layer capacitor. Due to variation in the preparatory conditions, there is no adequate comparison in the electrochemical properties of palm waste derived activated carbons. In this study, palm kernel shell (PKS), oil palm fiber (OPF), and empty fruit bunch (EFB) were used to produce activated carbon by one step physical carbonization and activation at 700â»°C and 1â»h hold time. A comparative analysis of the physiochemical characteristics of the activated carbon is presented. XRD results reflect the amorphous nature of all the samples and BET surface area of 823â»m2/g, 700â»m2/g, and 592â»m2/g were recorded for EFB, PKS, and OPF, respectively. © 2019 The Authors. date: 2019 publisher: Elsevier Editora Ltda official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85071928592&doi=10.1016%2fj.jmrt.2019.06.015&partnerID=40&md5=c3b366009cb6c0263d6439e03d7fa87a id_number: 10.1016/j.jmrt.2019.06.015 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Materials Research and Technology volume: 8 number: 5 pagerange: 3688-3695 refereed: TRUE issn: 22387854 citation: Tobi, A.R. and Dennis, J.O. and Zaid, H.M. and Adekoya, A.A. and Yar, A. and Fahad, U.
