Activated carbon from Thailand’s biomass: A review literature

Abstract

This review involves with the preparation of activated carbons from agricultural products which the scope is
research in Thailand. The activated carbons are produced by the carbonization with chemical and/or physical
activation. The kinds of carbon activation are based on the purpose of application in an absorbant in an adsorption
process. This paper is also viewed using an activated carbon to adsorb metal compounds and synthesis dyes
that it will be useful as a database for application in industry. Furthermore, the properties of activated carbon
such as specific surface area, total pore volume, iodine number and methylene blue adsorption are mentioned in
the article.
