The phrase "activation agent" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to chemistry, biology, or technology, where it refers to a substance or factor that initiates or accelerates a process.
Example: "In the experiment, we added an activation agent to speed up the reaction between the two compounds."
Alternatives: "catalyst" or "initiator".
Sewage sludge from a biological wastewater treatment plant was converted into sewage sludge based activated carbon (SBAC) with ZnCl2 as activation agent, which was used as a support for ferric oxides to form a catalyst (FeOx/SBAC) by a simple impregnation method.
Sewage sludge of biological wastewater treatment plant was converted into sewage sludge based activated carbon (SBAC) with ZnCl2 as activation agent, which supported manganese and ferric oxides as catalysts (including SBAC) to improve the performance of ozonation of real biologically pretreated Lurgi coal gasification wastewater.
The PPy-NCs are further activated using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as the activation agent for producing a porous nitrogen-containing carbon structure.
Sensitivity analysis reveals that the cash flow of the project would be increased or decreased up to 40, 65 and 120% by varying production factors of cost of chemical activation agent, production capacity and selling price of activated carbon, respectively, in the extent of ±25%.
The preparation method was performed following a full fractional factorial design (23), including pyrolysis temperature or power radiation, holding time and chemical activation agent, and specific surface area (SBET) of prepared activated carbon.
Microwave heating, in which ZnCl2 was used as activation agent and heating carrier, has been successfully used to prepare activated carbon from wood.
On applying the adsorption capacity data on the central composite design model, a quadratic model was suggested to explain the effect of operating parameters such as time of activation, temperature of activation, and activating agent concentration.
Simultaneously KOH and K2CO3 were used as activation agents.
Pore architectures are controlled by varying the ratio of chemical activation agents to graphene, and its influence on the capacitive performance is evaluated.
According to the statistical analysis obtained from the analysis of variance, the activation agents (H3PO4 and NaOH) played the most significant roles in the physicochemical properties.
Here, we report that bacteria grown with Fe minerals can be used for the preparation of mesoporous Fe-N-C electrocatalysts without activation agents or templates.
