Abstract

Activated carbons series were produced from the orange peel by chemical activation using strontium chloride (SrCl2) and boric acid (H3BO3). The activation temperature effects and type of activation reagents on the surface and chemical properties of activated carbon have been investigated. The surface area of the activated carbons is 577 and 290m(2) g(-1) for H3BO3 and SrCl2 activation(,) respectively. An increase in the temperature for both H3BO3 and SrCl2 led to a decrease in the yields of the activated carbons. The yield of H3BO3 series is higher than the yield of SrCl2. The obtained activated carbons were heteroporous with the mesopore. Orange peel can be used alternative waste biomass for the mesoporous activated carbon productions. Samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, and TGA analysis.
