Cherry stones were used as a precursor for the preparation of activated carbons by physical
and chemical activation with CO 2 and KOH, respectively. The effect of pyrolysis temperature …

A technology of obtaining active carbon from plum stones by chemical activation with KOH is
described. The effect of carbonisation temperature as well as activation procedure on the …

Chemically activated carbons were prepared from apricot stones. Phosphoric acid (25–
75wt.%) was used as an activating agent at 400–600° C. Zinc chloride-activated carbon …

A method for obtaining activated carbons from cherry stones by chemical activation with
NaOH is described. Carbonaceous adsorbents were obtained by two methods of activation …

The paper presents results of a study on obtaining activated carbon from common corn cobs
and on its use as adsorbent for removal of pollution from liquid and gas phases. The …

Pistachio nutshells were chosen as activated carbons precursor because current method of
their disposal-combustion-is not profitable due to the low calorific value. Carbonaceous …

Several series of activated carbons have been prepared by chemical activation of peach
stones with ZnCl 2 in order to show the effect of variables such as a precursor particle size …

A technology of obtaining active carbon from common walnut shells is described. The effect
of activation methods, temperature and heating mode on the surface properties has been …

Cherry stones (CS), a lignocellulosic material abundantly generated by the agrarian industry
in the Valle del Jerte (Cáceres province, Spain), were used as a precursor in the preparation …

An investigation of several agricultural wastes (almond shell, hazelnut shell, walnut shell
and apricot stone) revealed that their suitability for granular activated carbon production is …
