Helo Mike , Dean Thomas and Steve
The process of making or activating carbon can be simple
chemical treatments to remove the inorganic metal using acids ,
steam oxidation of organic materials or ethanol solvent removal
of oganic materials.
By using appropriate filter media and support the Lye formation
can eliminated and hence no need to bother as Steve thinking , as
solvent can form lye surely.
Steve , the poor really drink lye, water with impurities in
several part of the rural areas of the world and what we want to
do is to filter the lye using activated carbon
I am not able to find the results about ethanol solvent activation
as this is novel and new process.
Here Keith can come out with the recent work in this fields
from the data banks , even though I have tried to do so with out
success.
For rural area this simple process is more favourable l than
industrial conventional methods .
