The factors affecting the performance of activated carbon prepared from oil palm empty fruit bunches for adsorption of phenol

Powdered activated carbons (PACs)were produced fromoil palmempty fruit bunches (EFB) by varying the operating parameters of temperatures, CO2 gas flow rates and activation times using 2-level full factorial experimental design. The EFB samples were first carbonized for 30 min using nitrogen gas fo...
