Research Team, M Rifqi Al-Ghifari called his team develop a mangnetic carbon powder product that can absorb mercury content. The material used comes from the teak wood limba that is found in the main community of furniture craftsmen. "Teak waste is good for making mercury-absorbent carbon materials. In addition, the price is also cheap, "he explained in Yogyakarta, Friday
