The feasibility of preparing effective adsorbents from pistachio-nut shell was studied. Optimisation of the pyrolysis conditions prior to activation was carried out to study the effects of pyrolysis temperature, hold time, nitrogen flow rate and heating rate on the properties of chars and activated

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of pistachio shell as a biomass feedstock for the production of fungicidal oil and a precursor for the production of activated carbon by physical activation. For this purpose, pistachio shell was pyrolyzed in a fixed bed reactor at the
Petroleum cokes of different optical textures, a metallurgical coke and charcoals from wood were reacted with KOH in the temperature range 823-l 173 K. Resultant active carbons were examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy, by assessment of effective surface areas using N, and I, as adso
