En el presente estudio se muestra la producción de carbón activado a partir de la biomasa residual generada en la producción de palma de aceite, fibra (F) y cáscara (C). Se realizó activación química con ZnCl2 y se evalúo la capacidad de remoción de azul de metileno (AM) para diferentes concentraciones (50, 100 y 150 mg/L). Los resultados mostraron un buen desarrollo de poro por dicho método de activación, con áreas superficiales de 835,3 m2/g para la fibra activada (FA) y 575,1 m2/g para la cáscara activada (CA). Se encontró un buen ajuste de los datos experimentales al modelo cinético de pseudo segundo orden y a las isotermas de Langmuir y Freundlich con capacidades máximas de adsorción de 763,4 y 724,6 mg/g para FA y CA, respectivamente.
The production of activated carbon from residual biomass generated in the production of oil palm, fiber (F) and shell (C) was studied. The chemical activation was done using ZnCl2 and the adsorption capacity of methylene blue (AM) at different concentrations (50, 100, and 150 mg/L) was evaluated. Results showed a good development of pore with surface areas of 835.3 m2/g for activated fiber (FA) and 575.1 m2/g for activated shell (CA). A good fit of the experimental data with the pseudo second order kinetic model and with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models was found. In addition, maximum adsorption capacities of 763.4 and 724.6 mg/g for FA and CA were found, respectively.
