Description:
A series of experiments have been conducted to study the effects of different carbonization temperatures (400, 600, and 800 o C) on characteristics of porosity in activated carbon derived from carbonized sugarcane bagassechar at activation temperature of 800 o C. The results showed that the activated carbon derived from high carbonized temperature of sugarcane bagassechars had higher BET surface area, total volume, micropore volume and yield as compared to the activated carbon derived from low carbonized temperature. The BET surface area, total volume and micropore volume of activated carbon prepared from sugarcane bagassechars obtained at 800 o C of carbonized temperature and activation time of 120 min were 661.46m 2 /g, 0.2455cm 3 /g and 0.1989cm 3 /g, respectively. The high carbonization temperature (800 o C) generated a highly microporous carbonwith a Type-I nitrogen adsorption isotherm, while the low carbonizati...
