Abstract

Carbonaceous waste used in this project is obtained from furnace in ethane to ethylene
crackingprocess. Prior to this project, this waste is treated as scheduledwaste and sent to
Kualiti Alam SdnBhdfor disposal. This reportintended to point out the outcomes of the
project entitle "Study ofCarbonaceous Waste as Electrochemical Capacitor". The main aim
ofthis project is to addvalue of this carbonaceous waste by utilizing its carbon properties
possesses by the material and use it in electrochemical capacitor. In this project,
carbonaceous waste has been characterized and preliminary study to usethis carbonaceous
material as capacitor has been carried out. The carbonaceous waste can be classified as lowcrystalline
graphite and possess carbon characteristic. After the experimental work, the
results showthat this waste can be usedas capacitor as it has charge-discharge effectand can
be used to provide power. Electrochemical performance of capacitorfrom commercial carbon
andtern carbonaceous waste is alsocompared and evaluated. Further studies couldbe
carried out to optimize the charge-discharge capacity andthe efficiency of capacitor using
this material. As conclusion, this study has provedthat this specific carbonaceous waste is
able to act as electrode in electrochemical capacitor.
