 |  on the adsorption capacity of coconut shell-based
 activated carbons
 coconut
 carbonCoconut shells of West Africa Tall, a local
 variety of the coconut species Cocos nucifera L., were
 taken from five different geographical locations in Ghana
 and examined for the presence and concentration levels of
 some selected mineral elements using atomic absorption
 spectrometer. Activated carbons were subsequently made
 from the shells by the physical method. The iodine
 adsorption characteristics of the activated carbons
 measured showed a definite relationship to the
 concentration levels of potassium and other mineral
 elements in the precursor shell. Samples with lower total
 minerals content recorded higher iodine numbers. It was
 observed that the origin of the shells was related to the
 concentration levels of the analyzed mineral elements in
 the shells, which in turn affected the adsorption
 capacity of the activated carbons.
 bulk
 activated carbonThe results of this study have
 important implications for the sourcing of coconuts whose
 shells are used in the manufacture of activated carbons.
