Abstract:Chemically activated carbons were obtained from olive stones either by carbonization with H 3 PO 4 at 300-600ºC or by carbonization with ZnCl 2 at 600ºC. Nitrogen adsorption at 77 K was determined for all the activated carbons. The adsorption data were interpreted by considering some conventional adsorption models.Maximum activation with H 3 PO 4 occurred at 450ºC. However, the adsorption capacities of the ZnCl 2 -activated carbons were far higher than those of carbons activated with H 3 PO 4 . Carbons activat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
