Removal of tetracycline by NaOH-activated carbon produced from macadamia nut shells: Kinetic and equilibrium studies

TL;DR: In this article, a NaOH-activated carbon was prepared from macadamia nut shell using the impregnation ratio of 3:1 (NaOH:char) (wt:wt), which was characterized by several techniques and methodologies such as, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, SEM, FT-IR, Boehm titration, and pHpzc.
Journal ArticleDOI

NaOH-activated carbon of high surface area produced from coconut shell: Kinetics and equilibrium studies from the methylene blue adsorption

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the properties of activated carbons (ACs) of coconut shell produced by NaOH activation at impregnation ratios of NaOH:char (w/w) equal to 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 (AC-3) and found that AC-3 has a high surface area and showed to be an efficient adsorbent for removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption of methylene blue on activated carbon produced from flamboyant pods (Delonix regia): Study of adsorption isotherms and kinetic models

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) onto activated carbon produced from flamboyant pods (Delonix regia ) and obtained under optimized conditions (AC op ) was carried out.
Journal ArticleDOI

KOH-activated carbon prepared from sucrose spherical carbon: Adsorption equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies for Methylene Blue removal

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of activated carbon (AC) obtained by KOH chemical activation of spherical carbon (SC) produced from hydrothermal treatment (HT) of sucrose was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

NaOH-activated carbon of high surface area produced from guava seeds as a high-efficiency adsorbent for amoxicillin removal: Kinetic, isotherm and thermodynamic studies

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation and characterization of NaOH-activated carbon of high surface area produced from guava seeds (AC-GS) and its application for amoxicillin (AMX) adsorption were evaluated.
