Biomass based-Activated Charcoal for Adsorption Dehumidification in Humid Region
SDGs
In this study, we developed activated charcoal (AC) as the desiccant materials derived from waste biomass. The ability of AC to remove the moisture was controlled by carefully preparing the material using several conditions. The efficacy of the ACs for dehumidification applications was assessed using the weather data from several regions of Indonesia. The results revealed that under the studied conditions, the new desiccant material showed a better dehumidification capacity than silica gel. Moreover, the reported AC can be regenerated using temperatures as low as 40℃, which is readily available from waste heat.
