The effects of the carbonization temperature and concentration of chemical reagent on their chemical-surface properties were investigated. The highest surface area was obtained at 600 degrees C with the 50 wt. % concentration of sodium hydroxide. The external surfaces of the activated carbons showed amorphous and heterogeneous structures.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessActivated carbonmelamine coated chipboardpyrolysisArticle10.5053/ekoloji.2012.85142-s2.0-8487223171912885Q412321WOS:000314084500014Q4
