However, the activated carbon can also achieve a high adsorption capacity only when optimum activation time, activation temperature, and activating agent concentration were used.
activating agent concentration, activation temperature, and activation time for maximum adsorption capacity of activated carbon falls within these experiments.
Nitrogen- and oxygen-containing hierarchical porous carbon frameworks have been successfully synthesized by carbonization and simultaneous activation of polyaniline with KOH as activating agent.
Supercritical water (SCW) has been employed as an efficient activating agent for the preparation of activated carbon microspheres (P-ACS) with developed mesopores from phenolic-resin.
In this study, activated carbon was prepared from apricot stones by chemical activation technique using phosphoric acid (H3PO4) as activating agent.
DSAC has several pores due to the modification using activating agent.
It has several pores due to the modification using activating agent.
In this method, KOH acts both as activating agent and template.
The sample has been chemically activated using KOH as activating agent.
Lower weight ratio denotes the presence of higher amount of activating agent for carbon preparation and hence, it is clear that amount of activating agent has pronounced direct effect on carbonization of algal biomass.
In some cases, the carbonaceous matter may be treated with a chemical activating agent such as phosphoric acid, zinc chloride and the mixture carbonized at an elevated temperature, followed by the removal of activating agent by water washing (chemical method).
