In the framework of the presented study, the low-cost activated carbons from tropical agricultural waste biomass including cocoa pod husks (denoted as CPH-AC) were prepared. The raw materials collected in Tumbes region in Peru were mixed with activating agent based on ZnCl2 in the 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.
