Review on Production of Activated Carbon from Agricultural Biomass Waste
Abstract
Agricultural biomass waste is one of the main residue largely generated in the environment and was used as precursor for the synthesis of activated carbon as adsorbents, support on catalyst, electric charge storage, micro pore structure, high adsorption capacity material. Recently, many research paper can be found on particular biomass feedstock and activation technique to produce activated carbon. Consequently, main focus should be taken to the relevance those precursor effectiveness and final properties of structure of carbon. The effects of various thermal treatment stage activation methods on characteristics and activating conditions are physical, chemical and microwave and most significant method that have wider acceptability is microwave activation technique is described and summarized of application, characteristics, specific capacitance, adsorption capacity, conventional activation method and different agricultural source for the production of low cost activated carbon. From the current publication it is clear that agricultural bio waste produced activated carbon situated effective ability for removing of many contaminants. Finally, the major obstacles and future expectations of activated carbon preparation from agricultural waste are investigated.
