Babassu endocarp were used to prepare activated carbons by physical activation via microwave radiation for the first time. The pyrolysis temperature was 600°C and the derived biochar were activated in CO2atmosphereat 700, 750 and 800°C for 30 min. The material was characterized using scanning electr...
