Steam Activated Carbon Material from the Fruit Shells of Sterculia foetida for Energy and Environmental ApplicationsBy Vignesh Sridharan, Indra Neel Pulidindi, Prakash Vaithyanathan, Varadarajan Thirukallam Kanthadai, Viswanathan Balasubramanian
Abstract: Steam activation of the biochar from Sterculia foetida forms a green route for the synthesis of activated carbon material with high specific surface area (1017 m2/g). The corresponding value with a chemical activating agent (K2CO3) is much lower (596 m2/g). Structural parameters of the activated carbon materials were deduced from XRD studies. Moreover the thermal stability of the activated carbon materials from steam activation is nearly 100°C higher than that …
