Abstract
Activated carbon was produced from palm-kernel shell using NaOH and KOH solutions as the activating agents. The same was tested to determine its adsorptive capacity and efficiency using methylene blue solution. Particle sizes of the produced carbon were in the range of 600 – 2000 μm. The adsorption process was carried out at two different temperatures using methylene blue as adsorbate. It was observed that adsorption of methylene blue dye using carbon activated impregnated with KOH gave better result than with NaOH. Based on the adsorption parameters obtained, the process was found to be better described by the Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
