Abstract:Due to the rapid urbanisation and rapid population explosion, there is a vast essential requirement in the dispose of solid waste. Carbonization of Styrofoam is carried out at varying temperature ranges of 300°C to 675°C at an interval of 75°C using KOH as reagent. The Characterisation of power of hydrogen ion, ash and moisture content, fixed carbon, Volatile matter, iodine adsorption value, methyl blue value was conducted. It was found that the activate carbon obtain from the temperature of 525°C has a good c… Show more
