| 總結: | The production of activated carbon from pineapple peel (PiPAC) and pomelo
peel (PoPAC) through physiochemical activation consisting of potassium hydroxide
(KOH) impregnation and carbon dioxide (C02) gasification has been successfully
investigated. Activated carbon produced were used for removal of methylene blue
(MB), methyl red (MR) and remazol brilliant violet 5R (RBV) dyes from aqueous
solution. The experimental design results revealed that the activation temperature,
activation time and KOH impregnation ratio (IR) were significant factors influencing
adsorption performance for MB, MR and RBV. The optimum preparation conditions
of PiPAC and PoPAC for MB removal were at activation temperature, activation
time and IR of 732°C, 1.96 hour, 3.00, and 750°C, 2.19 hour, 2.12, respectively.
Whereas optimum preparation conditions obtained for PiPAC and PoPAC for MR
removal were at activation temperature, activation time and IR of 748°C, 2.13 hour,
3.00, and 800°C, 2.19 hour, 2.96, respectively. |
