TL;DR: The marine seaweeds Macrocystis integrifolia Bory and Lessonia nigrescens Bory were cross-linked with CaCl(2) to enhance their mechanical properties and the importance of the octanol-water partition coefficient as the main factor on the adsorption of these compounds on two different kinds of adsorbents is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a controlled production of carbon nanospheres (CNS) via pyrolysis of benzene, aniline and nitrobenzene at 950°C has been examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of pH and adsorbent dose on the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions were evaluated, showing that pH exhibited a strong effect mainly on the phenol chemistry, whereas the adsorption isotherm results were modeled on the Langmuir and Freundlich equations and complemented with EDX analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, three nickel catalysts supported on carbon nanospheres have been prepared by deposition-precipitation with urea (Ni/CNSDP) and standard impregnation, and two of them were tested in the gas phase hydrogenation of butyronitrile.

TL;DR: In this article, temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) and XRD analyses were performed to evaluate the graphitic character of the carbon product, and surface area and porosity measurements for both catalyst and carbon product were provided and structural/morphological features illustrated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
