Activated carbons from biomass-based sources for CO2 capture applications

In an ever-growing attempt to reduce the excessive anthropogenic CO2 emissions, several CO2 capture technologies have been developed in recent years. Adsorption using solid carbonaceous materials is one of the many promising examples of these technologies. Carbon-based materials, notably activated carbons, are considered very attractive adsorbents for this purpose given their exceptional thermal stability and excellent adsorption capacities....
