چکیده
Carbonaceous adsorbents with controllable surface area and the microporous volume ratio (Vmicro/Vpore) were activated from carbonized corncobs (i.e., char) with KOH etching plus CO2 gasification in this work. Activated carbons derived from KOH/char ratio equal to 1 and CO2 gasification time from 0 to 60 min exhibited BET surface area increasing from 1071 to 1991 m2 g−1 and the Vmicro/Vpore values decreasing rapidly from 0.805 t t t t w e t ©
