    Adsorption of carbon monoxide and nitric oxide from palm shell burning onto coal based activated carbon
    (Terengganu: Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2007) Sharmeela Maira Khairul
    The main objective of this study is to fabricate an alternative and economical unit for the removal of ambient air pollutants, which are CO and NO from the burning of palm oil waste. Through this study as well, the correlation between the efficiency of the activated carbon in removing the pollutants and the flowrates were determined. Moreover, palm oils have emerged as one of the most important oils in the world's oils and the market of fats. About 90% of palm oil is used as food related products worldwide, and the other 10% is used for basic raw material for soap. Fibers and shells are the main wastes generated from the palm oil processes.
