ABSTRACT The increasing energy demand can be meet globally with the use of non-renewable fossil fuels, however the use of these fossil fuels is associated with tremendous release of CO2, which largely contributed to greenhouse gases effect (GHG‘s). Climate change or globally warning is one of the result of GHG‘s effect, to prevent global warming or climate change, the excess amount of CO2 in the atmosphere must be reduced to ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY Activated carbon, also widely known as activated charcoal or activated coal is a form of carbon which has been processed to make it extremely porous and thus to have a very large surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions (Mattson et al., 1971). The word active is sometimes used in place of activated. It is characterized by high degree of micro porosity. ...

ABSTRCT The experiment was carried out to analyze comparatively coal and coconut activated carbon.  The coal sample used in bituminous and with density of 1300kg 1m3 tile coconut shell was used. The coal and coconut shell was first activated using phosphoric acid.  The activated coal and coconut carbons mere then used to bleach palm oil after preliminary treatment of the palm oil. The 10 dine value, saponification value, peroxide value and acid ...

ABSTRACT This project was carried out using coal sample from Onyeama coal mine Enugu, Enugu State.  Activated coal was produced by carbonizing the coal and activating it using phosphoric acid at a temperature of 5500c.  the degree of bleaching of raw palm oil was monitored using spectronic meter through absorbance measurement.  The essence was to identify suitability of the coal as a bleaching agent on palm oil.  Comparison of the ...
