“…with Ca, Si, S, and P. Meanwhile, XRF analysis of activated carbon treated with 2 N HCl showed that Cl was the highest content, which resulted from 24 hours acid-washed by HCl solution, and also hydrogen bonding between Cl À and the surface of activated carbon, although the bonding was poor. [35][36][37] Aer Cl content, the chemical composition in the activated carbon followed with Si, S, K, Ca, and Fe. Based on the XRF analysis, heat treatment and acid wash could reduce ash content (Ca, K, and P) of activated carbon, which were impurities of the activated carbon.…”
