RESULT & DISCUSSION Adsorption Capacity
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The removal of exceed CO2 in the natural gas plant nowadays are using a commercial adsorbents such as activated carbon and zeolite. Therefore, the project was done to remove the exceed CO2 in the natural gas plant using coconut shell as char adsorbent. Coconut shell is being chosen as adsorbent because its a good carbon precursor and having a regular porous structure. Coconut shell is classified as the agricultural waste and this will reduce the cost of the process.

OBJECTIVE
i. ii. iii. iv. To produce char coconut shell at furnace temperatures 300oC, 400oC and 500oC. To characterize the coconut char in terms of carbon content using Elemental Analyzer. To study the capability of CO2 adsorption at weight 5g, 10g and 15g and size of adsorbent at 106m, 250m and 500m. To investigate the adsorption performance based on Langmuir isotherm, Psuedo First Order kinetic and Psuedo Second Order kinetic.

The optimum condition for this research is where the adsorbent burned at 500 oC with size 106 m The adsorption process follows the Langmuir isotherm It follow pseudo second order reaction Coconut shell can be used as an adsorbent for the adsorption process of CO2. This is because the coconut shell is easy to get and inexpensive.
