Textural and Chemical Properties of Activated Carbon Prepared from Tropical Peat Soil by Chemical Activation Method

Activated carbon (AC) was produced via phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2) chemical activation methods at 500 °C for 3 h. Tropical peat soil was used as a carbon precursor. The effects of activating agent concentrations on the microstructure and chemical properties of activated carbon...
