I-ACVON consists of activated carbon from invasive weed called as Imperata Cylindrica or commonly known as cogon grass. Imperata cylindrica is abundant and easily found in our country and has not beneficial to our community. I-ACVON has unique properties that are large surface area, high degree of surface reactivity, universal adsorption effect and favorable pore size. The effectiveness of the I-ACVON as an absorbent is attributed to its properties. I-ACVON was produced by chemical activation which consume low energy and low cost. The activation process helps to open up the carbon pores. The pore opened will trap odors, chemicals and gases. Activated carbon is extremely effective at odour control. The tremendous surface area of activated carbon (1 teaspoon = a football field) quickly absorb the unpleasant scents, not just masks them. Thus, while other odour control techniques just cover up the smells, activated carbon usually eliminates them permenantly. No scents makes good sense! 2014-07-07T09:51:01Z 2014-07-07T09:51:01Z 2014-05 Other http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/36072 en 25th International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition;ITEX'14 Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) Center of Excellence Geopolymer and Green Technology (CEGeoTech)
