Determination of Optimal Sample and Mixing Ratio for Activated Carbon Composite for Best Quality Conductivity
Abstract
The study, determination of optimal sample and mixing ratio for activated carbon composite for best quality conductivity was successfully investigated. Coconut shells were gathered from deposited areas as waste, cleaned, washed, sun dried and broken into smaller sizes for combustion inside muffle furnace to achieve carbonization. Researchers adopted different samples masses; sample A (600g), sample B (450g) and sample C (800g) of coconut shells, in addition with variable masses of potassium carbonate 123g, 100g and 200g were also added to the various samples respectively. Furthermore, variable masses of purified water 1.32g, 1.5g and 2.5g were added to achieve activation at carbonization temperature of 800?, 900? and 1000? respectively. The conductivity for the three samples was measured and recorded using conductivity meter. Results suggested that the optimal standard conductivity was 12.0129ms/cm from the optimization model. Also, optimal values of material mixing ratio was 43.25g of coconut shell, 43.25g of potassium carbonate and 0.144g of water respectively. This data suggested that balancing the amount of coconut shell with that of potassium carbonate, in an activated carbon composite might give best quality conductivity. Hence, optimal sample as per the study was sample C, containing 800g of coconut shell, 200g of potassium carbonate and 2.5g of water activated at temperature of 1000?.
