Abstract:

Activated carbons from palm kernel shells were produced using the 23full factorial design method. The effect of some parameters such as the nature of the activating agent, the calcination temperature and the calcination time on the microporosity activated carbons were followed during their preparation. Thus, the microporosity of the eight (8) activated carbons prepared were determined by the iodine number method. Statistical analysis of the results by Nemrodw (new efficient methodology of research using optimal design) version 2000 software revealed that the activated carbon synthesized at 800 °C for one (1) hour with orthophosphoric acid has the best value of iodine number (500.006 mg.g-1).
