Lignocellulosic waste and activated carbon production method

Abstract

Lignocellulosic waste corresponds to a large percentage of waste in the world. Over time research has been developed for the use of these. This waste can be converted into activated carbon. The objective of this scientific article is to carry out a bibliographic review of research carried out on lignocellulosic waste and activated carbon production methods. The applied methodology is based on the qualitative approach, in which a comparison is sought to the obtaining methods, their precursors, and the variables to be considered for quality evaluation. The chemical activation method turned out to bethe most effective since it provides greater adsorption capacity; the most feasible lignocellulosic residues used are sugar cane bagasse, coffee husk, potato weed, and bamboo.
