TL;DR: In this paper, the main mineral content (potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and iron) and antioxidant activity (total phenolics, 1,1diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging and ferric reduction antioxidant power) were determined for 39 Portuguese monofloral honeys (rosemary, orange, thyme, arbutus, locust podshrub and heather) with different geographical origins.

TL;DR: A brief overview of the effort developed in the application of activated carbon as heterogeneous catalysts in various reactions is presented in this article, where the authors used functionalised activated carbon has been used as catalyst for fine chemical reactions.

TL;DR: The results obtained showed that the upgrading treatment allow the recovery of 63-81% of the pyrolysis oils trapped in the crude chars and a reduction in the char's ash content in the range of 64-86%.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel porous carbon obtained by K2CO3 activation of potato peel waste under optimized conditions was applied for the first time as liquid-phase adsorbent of sodium diclofenac in parallel with a commercial activated carbon.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the activated carbon obtained from the hydrochar produced at 250°C for 6h, which adsorbed 8.80 m 2 /kg at 30°C and 14.8 bar at 50°C, showed a stronger affinity towards CO 2 compared to methane.
