Preparation and Characterization of Activated Carbon Monoliths with Potential Application as Phenol Adsorbents

A series of different activated carbons of both honeycomb and disc type were prepared by chemical activation of coconut shells with zinc chloride at different concentrations, without the use of a binder. The structures were characterized by N2 adsorption at 77 K and scanning electron microscopy (SEM...
