In this study, spent activated carbons (ACs) were collected from a waste water treatment
plant (WWTP) in Incheon, South Korea, and regenerated by heat treatment and KOH …

The design and fabrication of synergistic hybrid antibacterial materials is a promising
approach for achieving effective sterilization while compensating for the deficiency of a …

Spent activated carbon (SAC) usually exhibits a low specific surface area due to its high ash
contents. In this study, pre-treatments, such as heat and acid treatments, were optimized to …

The chemical activation of a carbon precursor with KOH generally results in an activated
carbon (AC) with a high specific surface area. However, this process generates a large …

Five types of odor-emitting exhaust gases from medical waste were selected, and their
adsorption capacity and desorption efficiency were investigated using activated carbon. The …

This study was a preliminary investigation of solid recovered fuel production from spent
coffee grounds using the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technique. The spent coffee …

Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used for powering electric vehicles (EVs),
however, the charging time of LIBs is considerably higher than the refueling time of petrol …

In this study, both commercial activated carbons (ACs) and chemically activated ACs were
prepared and studied for the adsorption and desorption properties for volatile organic …

In this study, methods of adding value to cow manure were studied. Due to the properties of
cow manure, activated carbon with a high surface area can only be produced by increasing …

Activated carbons (ACs) are usually utilized for the electrochemical capacitor due to their
inherent properties, such as large surface area, high chemical stability, and good electrical …
