Within the presented study, a broad range of activated carbon samples prepared from various tropical agricultural waste biomass including mango pits, red mombin seeds, coffee husks and cocoa pod husks were prepared. The raw materials collected in Tumbes region in Peru were mixed with activating agent based on ZnCl2 in a weight ratio of 1/1. Subsequently, the mixture was put in a ceramic reactor and afterwards in a horizontal oven to be directly carbonized under nitrogen atmosphere. The temperature increased with the rate of 10 min/min until a final carbonization temperature of 600 °C was reached and it was kept during 2 h.
