Characterizing activated carbon synthesized from corn straw aiming water treatment

Silva T., Souza I., Silva C., (Corresponding) Abud A.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

The emerging agenda for sustainable development and global warming control searches urgent researches to reduce environmental impacts. In this sense, activated carbons from agroindustrial wastes are widely used as adsorbents in food and pharmaceuticals industries, mainly for the separation and...Read more

Production of activated carbon from oil palm shells via physical activation with H2O and its characterization for use in aqueous phase

(Corresponding) Rincon S., Alvarez D.

Topic:

Energy technologies and sustainability

Oil palm shells (OPS) are a solid residue of the extraction of palm oil having excellent characteristics for production of activated carbon. OPS worldwide production amounts to 17.214 ton (2018) from which Colombia participates with 364 ton. Oil palm shells were first carbonized in a horizontal...Read more

Characterization of activated carbon prepared from Aegina pistachio shells for Hg removal

(Corresponding) Karagianni E., Chatzitheodoridis E., Papassiopi N.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Preparation of activated carbon from agricultural bio-products is a promising way to produce useful adsorbents for Hg removal. In this study Aegina pistachio shells were used as raw materials and the activation was carried out by impregnation with ZnCl2 and heating at 750oC under N2 atmosphere...Read more

Adsorptive Removal of Marbofloxacin from Milk using Activated Carbons.

GE X., WU Z., KUNZ W., Barge A., (Corresponding) Giancarlo C.

Topic:

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

The present study aims to remove the residual marbofloxacin (MBX) from milk with activated carbons (ACs) in batch and flow systems to meet the maximum residue limits (MRLs, 0.075 µg mL-1). Different types (granular and powder) and amounts of ACs were studied. In batch mode, 50 mg of commercial...Read more
