Activated carbon evaluation on butane working capacity (BWC) for canister / Muhamad Fuad Ashaari and Zulkiflee Bidin

Charcoal or carbon as it is often called is the most abundant element on earth. The most common forms of carbon are coal, coconut shell, wood, peat and lignite. The charcoal undergoes a process called Activation. This is achieved by firstly burning the shells as examples, in the absence of air and t...
