Activated Carbon from Mangrove Wood (Rizophora apiculata): Preparation and Characterization

Activated carbon was prepared from mangrove wood (Rizophora apiculata) by destructive distillation in vacuum. A series of heating times and temperatures were selected for the preparation of activated carbon. The iodine number of the activated carbon was determined by absorption method in aqueous s...
