  Pre-carbonized date palm leaves (Phoenix dactylifera L.) with a particle size of 10 microns were used to prepare activated carbon pellets by KOH activation at 700°C. The grain powders were impregnated in KOH at a concentration of (0.0–0.35) moles, converted into grain pellets by applying 12 metric tons of pressure. The activated carbon produced was analyzed in terms of crystallite parameters, specific surface area, Young’s modulus (E) and spring length (SP) between two cubic granular volume microstructures. The crystallite parameters were analyzed in terms of (d002, Lc and La) for the graphitic crystallite. The results show that the La increased with increasing KOH concentration, while there is now a significant change to the Lc. The specific surface area of the AC product wa.. Read More»
