Development of Activated Carbon from Banana Pseudo-stem via Single Step of Chemical Activation

Activated carbon with high surface area was successfully produced from banana pseudo-stem through a single step chemical activation process. The effect of activation parameters such as types of activating chemical (ZnCl2 and H3PO4 impregnation ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 and 1:5 precursor/activating...
