Preparation And Characterization Of Gelam Wood And Rice Husk Activated Carbons For Thin Layer Chromatography Stationary Phase

Gelam wood (Meleuca Cajiputi) was used as a precusor for the preparation of activated carbon. Potassium orthophosphate, potassium hydroxide , phosphoric acid and carbon-dioxide were used as chemical and physical activating agents. The industrial activated carbons AC (7080 and 4050) were used as...
