Producción de carbón activado a partir de los residuos producidos de una empresa productora de tiras de bambú en la ciudad de Durán

Abstract

This project consists of the production of activated carbon from bamboo waste, with the aim of contributing to the reduction of pollution and the creation of a much needed product in the market. For this, a theoretical-experimental investigation was developed where the ease of preparation and characterization of activated carbon will be demonstrated, through a process of chemical activation with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) from a material made up of both primary and secondary cellulosic, homocellulosic biomolecules, and lignin (bamboo briquettes) where its effectiveness will be tested by absorbing dyes diluted in water.
