The effects of different activation temperatures on the pore structure and surface morphology of highly efficient activated carbon derived from waste palm shell by chemical activation method using phosphoric acid as activating agent were studied. For activation, different activation temperatures in the range of 5500C-6500C were carried out. Activated carbon with well developed pore size were produced at activation temperature of 6000C for 2 hours.

For optimum adsorption ability of activated carbon for pesticide/paraquat, 0.9% NaCl solution is the most suitable solvent.

The adsorption ability of the activated carbon (the amount adsorbed) for pesticide/paraquat observed to be 99.9 mg g-1. 2013-12-19 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/36605/1/Binder1.pdf Rahman, Md.
