Progressive Conversion Model Applied to the Physical Activation of Activated Carbon from Palm Kernel Shells at the Pilot Scale in a Nichols Furnace and at the Industrial Scale in a Rotary Kiln

Progressive Conversion Model Applied to the Physical Activation of Activated Carbon from Palm Kernel Shells at the Pilot Scale in a Nichols Furnace and at the Industrial Scale in a Rotary Kiln

Palm kernel shells, an abundant agro-industrial residue in countries like Ecuador, can be valorized through their conversion into activated carbon for industrial applications. This study investigates the physical activation of carbonized palm kernel shells using both a Nichols furnace at the pilot s...
