CARBÓN ACTIVADO: EFECTO DEL LAVADO CON ÁCIDO SULFÚRICO DEL PRECURSOR LIGNOCELULÓSICO, CUESCO DE PALMA AFRICANA, SOBRE LOS PROCESOS DE CARBONIZACIÓN Y ACTIVACIÓN ACTIVATED CARBON: EFFECT OF THE WASHING WITH SULFURIC ACID OF THE LIGNOCELLULOSIC PRECURSOR, SHELL OF AFRICAN PALM, ON THE PROCESSES OF CARBONIZATION AND ACTIVATION
Controlled washings are made at different periods of time, 6 and 12 hours, with dilute sulfuric solutions 2, 5 and 10% on the lignocellulosic precursor shell of African Palm lowering 50% the ash content of the material. The inmersion enthalpies are determined in the samples with greater degree of activation with results that are between 2 and 10 J.g -1 and are compared with those gotten for activated carbons resulting when the initial material are washed with water during similar periods.
