Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of the surface chemistry of activated carbons
TL;DR: In this paper, a deconvolution method is proposed to analyze the TPD spectra, allowing for the quantitative determination of the amount of each functional group on the surface. But the deconvolutions are not suitable for the analysis of a large number of functional groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview on the advanced oxidation processes applied for the treatment of water pollutants defined in the recently launched Directive 2013/39/EU.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the data published in the last decade regarding the application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to treat priority compounds and certain other pollutants defined in this Directive, excluding the inorganic species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of anionic and cationic dyes on activated carbons with different surface chemistries.
TL;DR: It is shown that the surface chemistry of the activated carbon plays a key role in dye adsorption performance, with the basic sample obtained by thermal treatment under H(2) flow at 700 degrees C is the best material for the adsorbed dyes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and removal of organic micropollutants: An overview of the watch list of EU Decision 2015/495
Marta O. Barbosa,Nuno F.F. Moreira,Ana R. Ribeiro,Manuel Fernando R. Pereira,Adrián M.T. Silva +4 more
TL;DR: The most commonly used conventional and advanced treatment processes to remove micropollutants are described, as well as the lack of reports concerning some substances of the watch list, the study of un-spiked aquatic matrices and the assessment of transformation by-products.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of lattice oxygen on the activity of manganese oxides towards the oxidation of volatile organic compounds
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of manganese oxides differing in the structure, composition, average menganese oxidation state and specific surface area have been used in the total oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOC).
