Non-Toxic Activated Carbon Using Tea and Banana Waste (E)
A team of Indian researchers has created non-toxic activated carbon using tea and banana waste. This material may be useful in several applications, including industrial pollution control, water purification, food and beverage processing, and odour removal. This process, developed by the Guwahati based Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology, will be able to synthesize activated carbon without the use of toxic agents.
