  A series of activated carbon pellets (ACPs) prepared from pre-carbonized palm leaves treated with KOH having a concentration of (0.0 - 0.07) by moles (M) for carbonization at different temperatures from 500°C to 1000°C in a nitrogen environment, using a milt step heating profile. The experimental sets were carried out to characterize the crystallite units, specific surface area and spring length between two cubic volume granular structures. The crystallite units such as interlayer spacing (d002), layer height (Lc) and layer diameter (La) were analyzed using the wide-angle X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The ultrasonic technique was used to measure the longitudinal velocity (V). The XRD analysis found that the structure of all the ACPs produced is turbostratic, showing that the activated carbon prepared below 1000oC has a disordered.. Read More»
