Development and characterization of microwave-assisted activated carbons from Parkinsonea aculeata wood

Activated carbons from invasive Parkinsonia aculeata wood sawdust were developed by microwave assisted H3PO4 acid activation varying the radiation time (2–10 min). Their main physicochemical characteristics were determined, and compared with those of a sample previously obtained by conventional heat...
