Synthesis and characterization of coconut pith char adsorbents for carbon dioxide capture

The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from anthropogenic sources has become a public concern. Several effective and affordable post combustion CO2 capture technology has been reported and one of the approaches is through adsorption process. This study focused the adsorption onto low-cost adsorbent th...
