Abstract
The Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) is a large iconic tree indigenous to Africa where it is found in many countries. The Baobab tree has various uses as it produces food and non-food products such as medicines fuel timber and fodder. This research is focused on the characterization of the Baobab fruit shells in terms of lignin (54.08) cellulose (24.87) and hemicellulose (21.05) content as well as proximate analysis such as ash content (5.17) moisture content (6.48) volatile matter (86.73) and carbon content (1.22). This assessment will play a vital role in exploring the benefits of utilizing baobab fruit shells in the production of activated carbon as well as set a foundation for future research.
