Activated carbon has been the primary component of studies aiming for the adsorption of chemicals, toxins, and gases. The characterization of cocoa pod husk activated carbon (CPHAC) revealed its potential as an adsorbent material. The FTIR, EDX analyses confirmed the presence of aromatics, alkynes, alcohols, and phenols as functional groups and the elemental composition in which carbon and oxygen had highest percent weight composition. The SEM, and Proximate analyses revealed the level of moisture and VCM of CPHAC which met the SNI (06-3730-1995) standard and the high surface area, affirms characteristics similar to an activated carbon. Adsorption experiments demonstrated CPHAC's effectiveness in reducing CO emissions from two-stroke vehicular engines, with a percent reduction of up 54.83%. The study highlights the significance of using agricultural waste as a precursor for activated carbon production, addressing waste management issues and providing a cost-effective adsorbent material for gas emission control.
Keywords: air pollution, cacao pod husk activated carbon, carbon monoxide, exhaust emission reduction, waste biomass utilization.
