The experiment was conducted at various conditions using a constant flow of nitrogen gas with variable temperature ramp and carbonization temperature i.e., 5 °C /min to 20 °C /min and 400 °C to 800 °C respectively. The product was identified by calculating its surface area, pore size, micro strain, interplanar spacing, packing density, full-width half maximum, crystallite size, lateral size, no of layers, dislocation density, crystallinity index, and morphological characterization. It was revealed that the best results in terms of surface area, pore size, micropore volume, and burn-off value of the char were observed at a carbonization temperature of 700 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. The calculated values of surface area, pore size, micropore volume, and burn-off were found to be 211.816 m2/g, 2.288 nm, 0.121 cm3/g, and 20.2 respectively. © 2023 Elsevier B.V. date: 2024 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85182229667&doi=10.1016%2fj.molstruc.2023.137243&partnerID=40&md5=e17b15951e2599601c3adf8bea96916b id_number: 10.1016/j.molstruc.2023.137243 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Molecular Structure volume: 1300 refereed: TRUE citation: Nisa, Z.U. and Chuan, L.K. and Guan, B.H. and Ahmad, F. and Ayub, S.
