New sources of activated carbon (AC) are desired for CO 2 capture. This study explored the potential of Philippine indigenous Pili tree (Canarium ovatum Engl.) waste nut shell as a source of new activated carbon. The charred sample has high fixed carbon content (86.81%), which upon activation, showe...
