Preparation of bamboo-based mesoporous activated carbon by phosphoric acid activation

On preparing highly abrasion resistant binderless and in situ N-doped granular activated carbon

“…The binderless method is mainly used to form granules from precursors and then GACs are obtained after activation; this is a simple and effective way to prepare GACs. Various chemical reagents have been used in this method by many researchers, such as H 3 PO 4 , 5 ZnCl 2 , 6 KOH, 7 and K 2 CO 3 . 8 Molina-Sabio et al 9 described the preparation of activated carbon discs without a binder by using H 3 PO 4 as an activating agent.…”
