ES60-AgriCarbón/AC

Valorization of agricultural waste into activated carbon for application in water treatment.

Description

Production of activated carbon using agricultural waste.

Sector

A1.2Growing of perennial crops

Needs/ Problem statement

In Andalusia, agricultural activities play an important role in the socio-economic development which generates contamination in superficial, underground water, soil, and solid wastes. In this context, it becomes relevant the promotion of initiatives to reuse agricultural residues.

Objective

Produce activated biocarbon, a high added value product, from agricultural residues generated in large volume, such as almond shells and rice husk.
