Technical and Economic Feasibility Study of Coconut Shell Charcoal Production as precursor to Activated Carbon in East Coast Malaysia

The most common precursors used for the preparation of activated carbons are organic materials that are rich in carbon. The abundance and availability of coconut shells make them excellent sources of raw materials for activated carbon production. A survey has been conducted to identify locations for...
