Effect of sulphuric acid concentration on oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) to produce advanced carbon product

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) contains polymeric lignocellulosic component such as hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin and is therefore a potential raw material for producing advanced materials such as carbon electrode, and molecular sieve carbon. The parameters that have been focused throughout...
