dc.description.abstract | I-ACVON consists of activated carbon from invasive weed called as Imperata
Cylindrica or commonly known as cogon grass. Imperata cylindrica
is abundant and easily found in our country and has not beneficial to our
community. I-ACVON has unique properties that are large surface area, high
degree of surface reactivity, universal adsorption effect and favorable pore
size. The effectiveness of the I-ACVON as an absorbent is attributed to its
properties. I-ACVON was produced by chemical activation which consume
low energy and low cost. The activation process helps to open up the carbon
pores. The pore opened will trap odors, chemicals and gases. Activated
carbon is extremely effective at odour control. The tremendous surface
area of activated carbon (1 teaspoon = a football field) quickly absorb the
unpleasant scents, not just masks them. Thus, while other odour control
techniques just cover up the smells, activated carbon usually eliminates them
permenantly. No scents makes good sense! | en_US |
