The feasibility of preparing activated carbon from single step carbon dioxide activation was studied. The optimization of the activated carbons were carried out to study the effects of precursors (coconut fiber, rice husk, coconut shell, palm kernel shell and palm mesocarp fiber), particle size (250...
