In this study, activated carbons (ACs) were prepared from tea leaves by using a two-stage self-generated atmosphere method. The process was done by semi-carbonizing the precursor at 300 oC for 1 h, followed by the impregnation of the resulting char at 85 oC for 4 h and finally activation at 500 oC f...
