KOH-super activated carbon from biomass waste: Insights into the paracetamol adsorption mechanism and thermal regeneration cycles.

TL;DR: The SAC and the regenerated SAC after five adsorption-regeneration cycles (RSAC-5th) were fully characterized by several techniques and showed that the SAC surface is composed by oxygen containing-groups, whilst the RSAC- 5th also presents nitrogen ones, provenient from the PCT molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of activated carbon from biomass and its’ applications in water and gas purification, a review

TL;DR: In this article, the ratio of freshwater on our planet is very poor and the demand is increasing with time for the growing population, and without pure water, it is impossible to survive for any living beings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomass-derived activated carbons for the removal of pharmaceutical mircopollutants from wastewater: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of lignocellulosic biomass as well as pyrolysis, activation and modification conditions on the physicochemical properties of biochars and their adsorption capacities are discussed.

Surface functionalised adsorbent for emerging pharmaceutical removal: Adsorption performance and mechanisms

TL;DR: In this paper, highly effective adsorbent (PPhA) was designed using acid catalyst functionalisation and tested for six emerging PhCs (sulfamethoxazole (SMX), carbamazepine (CBZ), ketoprofen (KP), naproxen (NPX), diclofenac (DCF) and ibuprofen(IBF)) in a batch study.

Adsorption modeling, thermodynamics, and DFT simulation of tetracycline onto mesoporous and high-surface-area NaOH-activated macroalgae carbon

TL;DR: In this paper, an activated carbon (ENAC) was prepared by NaOH activation, using macroalgae (Enteromorpha clathrate) as raw material, and the results indicated that the prepared ENAC had a great application prospect in the removal of antibiotics from aqueous solution.

Ecotoxicology of human pharmaceuticals.

TL;DR: It is shown that only very little is known about long-term effects of pharmaceuticals to aquatic organisms, in particular with respect to biological targets, and targeted ecotoxicological studies are needed focusing on subtle environmental effects.

Second-order kinetic model for the sorption of cadmium onto tree fern: a comparison of linear and non-linear methods.

TL;DR: Results show that the non-linear method may be a better way to obtain the desired parameters of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for the sorption of cadmium onto ground-up tree fern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of HNO3 treatment on the surface acidity of activated carbons

TL;DR: In this article, a homologous series of activated carbon samples was prepared from a low ash source carbon by controlled oxidation using nitric acid, and physicochemical properties (specifically, BET surface area, ash content, acid/base neutralization, and ammonia adsorption) were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of activated carbon prepared by phosphoric acid activation of olive stones

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of activating agent concentration on the pore structure and surface chemistry of activated carbons derived from olive stone with chemical activation method using phosphoric acid as the activating agent were studied.
