Abstract | This research aims to outline a simple but effective way combining orthogonal array design (OAD), experiments and characterization to produce desirable activated carbons (AC) from agricultural wastes. OAD, and experiments including carbonization, KOH impregnation and activation were combined to optimize the preparation of AC derived from coffee residues with high specific surface areas. Results suggest that the optimized parameters are a carbonization temperature (T$_{c}$) of 450 °C (30 min), a KOH impregnation ratio (R$_{kc}$) of 3:1, and an activation temperature (T$_{a}$) of 750 °C (60 min). Extensive experiments further showed that a 100-min (t$_{a}$) activation with T$_{a}$ of 900 °C achieved AC with a specific surface area of 2111 m$^{2}$/g, a high value that has not been reported previously in the production of AC from coffee wastes. Such high specific surface areas are favorable for use in water treatment, but will lead to a reduced yield of AC. N$_{2}$ adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were shown to be useful tools for investigating the specific surface area, surface functional groups and pore size distribution of AC. Capacitance performance that may indicate the electrosorption capability of AC being used as electrode materials in capacitive deionization was examined by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge–discharge curves, and the consistency with specific surface areas was confirmed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
