Highlights▪ Activated carbons derived from barley present a well-developed microporosity ▪ CO 2 activation develops a higher microporous structure than steam activation ▪ Temperature and heating rate are the most relevant factors during carbonization ▪ Temperature and hold time are the most relevant factors during activation ▪ Activation produce an increase in the aromaticity and dehydrogenation of the chars
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
