High performance microspherical activated carbons for methane storage and landfill gas or biogas upgrade

Microspherical activated carbons were successfully prepared via a novel synthetic route that involves hydrothermal carbonization of a renewable material, sucrose, and activation with K2CO3. The use of K2CO3 resulted in better yields (similar to 50%) and the retention of the spherical shape of the hy...
