Influences of pyrolysis condition and acid treatment on properties of durian peel-based activated carbon
a b s t r a c t
Durian peel was used for the synthesis of activated carbon used for adsorption of Basic Green 4 dye. Activated carbon was synthesised under either nitrogen (N2) atmospheric or vacuum pyrolysis, followed by
carbon dioxide (CO2) activation. The synthesised activated carbon then was treated with hydrochloric
acid (HCl) solution. The results showed that activated carbon synthesised under vacuum pyrolysis exhibited
better properties and adsorption capacities than that under nitrogen atmospheric pyrolysis. The HCl
treatment improved properties and adsorption capacities of activated carbons. Pseudo-second-order
kinetics well described the adsorption of Basic Green 4.
