Preparation and Characterization of Bimetallic Nanocatalyst Supported on Activated Carbon Prepared from Papaya Seeds
Abstract
Preparation and characterization of an iron-tin bimetallic nanocatalyst supported on activated carbon (AC) prepared from papaya seeds, which was previously available in the surrounding environment, were performed. Different characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR spectrometry, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry were used. Many properties were characterized, and the resulting activated carbon could serve as an inexpensive catalytic support with a high surface area [...]
