Post treatment of activated carbon from activation of rice husk with water or acid wash makes marked difference in exposure of inner pores

Key Points

• Pore exposure in activated carbon significantly increases with post-treatment methods.
• Specifically, activation using either water or acid wash enhances inner pore visibility by 70%.
• Experiment involved treating rice husk with varying conditions to evaluate pore structure changes.
• Improved inner pore exposure may lead to better adsorption properties, highlighting potential applications.
