Low cost proximate analysis of biomass for carbon production

This study look at how UPM can help Hakita Engineering Sdn Bhd to capitalize on the big market for activated carbon which is about RM5 billion/year. The price of carbon depends on the quality which is determined by the selection of source materials and technique of carbonization. The analysis of car...
