This product-oriented technology is to utilize water chestnut husk as a starting precursor in the production of activated carbon using physical activation process.The resulting activated carbon is characteristic of its high microporosity, high BET surface areatotal pore volume, which is superior to commercial activated carbon products.

1. Infrared wax physisorption kinetics (iR-WPK) provides a glyco-histopathological imaging analysis for examining tissue sections, which utilizes n-alkanes with carbon number (CN) from 20 to 34 and beeswax as glycan adsorbents for targeting similar longitudinal length of glycans of glycoconjugates anchoring in the cell surface. 2. It is an in-situ non-destructive method of examining tissue sections for cancer screening and prognosis prediction for chronic kidney disease by profiling aberrant glycans covalently-attached to both glycoconjugates anchored in tissue sections. 3. It can screen ten cancers including colon cancer, breast cancer, ovary cancer, cervical cancer, oral cavity cancer, gastric cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer, intestinal neuroendocrine tumor and brain cancer.
