In this study, a series of activated carbons with high surface area and micropore volume
were obtained by KOH activation of cherry laurel (Prunus laurocrasus L.) stone in several …

In this study, characterization of activated carbon produced from apricot stones by chemical
activation technique using phosphoric acid (H3PO4) as activating agent, at relatively low …

Empty fruit bunch of oil palm was used as an alternative raw material for preparation of
highly microporous activated carbon. Activated carbon was prepared by impregnation of raw …

Activated carbon (AC) is well‐known for its unique properties; hence, the search for new
precursors and the investigation of new methods for the preparation of AC is still drawing …

Bamboo was converted into a microporous activated carbon (AC) following either a one-or a
two-step activation process with KOH. The main objective was to analyze the influence of the …

In this study, an activated carbon with high-surface area was prepared from Paulownia (P.
tomentose) wood by chemical activation with ZnCl2. The influences of carbonization …

Marigold straw shows promise as an alternative raw material for activated carbon
production. This study investigated the adsorption performance of activated carbon prepared …

High surface area activated carbons were prepared by simple thermo-chemical activation of
Jatropha curcas fruit shell with NaOH as a chemical activating agent. The effects of the …
