Cellulose is a biodegradable, renewable, non-meltable polymer which is insoluble in most
solvents due to hydrogen bonding and crystallinity. Natural cellulose shows lower …

Activated carbon fiber (ACF) is widely used sorbent material for wastewater treatment. Three
natural cellulosic fibres (kapok, cotton, and ramie) and three regenerated cellulosic fibres …

In this study, we used a combination of chemical and biological pretreatment methods to
extract cellulose from corn straw with a relative content of 92.40%. The adsorption …

With the development of large-scale animal husbandry, large amounts of manure have
brought great harm to the ecological environment, thus limiting sustainable development of …

In this study, laboratory tissue paper and hardboard waste were utilized to synthesize
activated carbon (AC). The structure, morphology, zeta potential and particle size of the …

In recent decades, increased domestic, agricultural and industrial activities worldwide have
led to the release of various pollutants, such as toxic heavy metals, inorganic anions …

Efficient separation and removal is necessary in applications ranging from environmental
remediation to the food sector. A well-designed adsorption system should meet the …

Different fibrous activated carbons were prepared from natural precursors (jute and coconut
fibers) by physical and chemical activation. Physical activation consisted of the thermal …

Sugarcane straw (SCS) is a raw material with high potential for production of cellulose
derivatives due to its morphology and structure. The proposal of this work was to synthesize …

From application perspectives in adsorption, activated carbon fiber (ACF) is by far one of the
most important carbon nanoporous materials to be considered. It has great advantages over …
