Abstract (EN):
In this work we developed a methodology to produce activated carbons of high adsorption capacity and with controlled pore size, based on the KOH catalysed gasification with CO2 of a coconut shell char. To study the effect of potassium in the activation step two series of activated carbons were prepared, with (CK1173) and without KOH (DC1173). The results obtained show that the size of the micropores is much smaller in the series CK1173.
