Description
Summary:Biomass based activated carbon adsorbents are gaining increasing attention for the separation of different gases such as CO2 from natural gases. Such renewable resources-based activated carbon adsorbent is produced by carbonization followed by activation techniques. Though, existing method of activated carbon production can cause collapse in the carbon structure and will reduce the yield at high temperature operating conditions. In order to maximize the quality and cost effectiveness of activated carbon production process, combining both carbonization and activation steps in a single unit can reduce the cost production. However, previous research report indicates production of activated carbon using the method of combining carbonization and activation into single-step was limited to laboratory scale.
