Agricultural residues as Precursors for activated carbon production (coconut waste)

Coconut meal and coconut shell were characterized to know the suitability to become the activated carbon precursors. Besides the low cost and decrease the market waste, this attempt was made to produce an alternative activated carbon precursor from the agricultural residue. The effects of different...
