Production of activated carbon from peat by chemical activation method / Noor Azlina Ibrahim

Peat was used as the raw material to produce activated carbon by chemical activation method using phosphoric acid as activating agent. The activation was performed at the various activation temperatures, which were 500, 600 and 700 °C, and at different activation period (3 and 5 hour). Before that,...
