Activated carbons from African oil palm waste shells and fibre for hydrogen storage
Journal Title: Carbon - Science and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
We prepared a series of activated carbons by chemical activation with two strong bases in-group that few use, and I with waste from shell and fibers and oil-palm African. Activated carbons are obtained with relatively high surface areas (1605 m2 /g). We study the textural and chemical properties and its effect on hydrogen storage. The activated carbons obtained from fibrous wastes exhibit a high hydrogen storage capacity of 6.0 wt. % at 77 K and 12 bar.
