TL;DR: It is evident from the revision made that AC prepared from both conventional and non-conventional wastes might effectively compete with the commercial ones.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the recent developments on the carbon capture and storage (CCS) methodologies from 2006 until now, focusing on the basic findings achieved in CCS operational projects.

TL;DR: The main objective of this study was to list and compare the advantages and disadvantages of different methodologies to modify the surface of activated carbons for their application as adsorbents to remove organic and inorganic pollutants from aqueous phase.

TL;DR: Predicting next day hourly ozone concentrations through a new methodology based on feedforward artificial neural networks using principal components as inputs improved both models prediction by reducing their complexity and eliminating data collinearity.

TL;DR: A promising technology is the biological capture of CO 2 using microalgae as mentioned in this paper, which has the following advantages: (i) being an environmental sustainable method; (ii) using directly the solar energy; and (iii) co-producing high added value materials based on biomass, such as human food, animal feed, medical drugs, fertilizers, biomolecules for specific applications and biofuels.
