carbon (MPAC) and its adsorption of trace amounts of Ni (II) from aqueous solution. Results
showed that raw powder activated carbon modified with 15% nitric acid (MPAC-15%) had
the most developed pore structure and the highest adsorption efficiency for Ni (II) in aqueous
solution. For MPAC-15%, the pore width was dominated by micropores with pore width
about 1 nm and the total amount of chemical functional groups of MPAC-15% was 0.6630 …
