Pollutants in water or wastewater raise grave public health problems. This review provides a
concise summary of the potential applications of activated carbon derived from various …

Nowadays, due to the economic and industrial development, water contaminated with heavy
metals is a significant concern and one of the acute global environmental problems …

The use of a cheap and effective adsorption approach based on biomass-activated carbon
(AC) to remediate heavy metal contamination is clearly desirable for developing countries …

Activated carbon has been an ideal material for the separation of a variety of chemical
pollutants. Its extensive use is limited due to the cost of production, which has triggered the …

Activated carbon is a porous material that has been in many important ages of the human
history. Lignocellulosic precursors and biomass sources have become important materials …

Chromium exists mainly in two forms in environmental matrices, namely, the hexavalent (Cr
(VI)) and trivalent (Cr (III)) chromium. While Cr (III) is a micronutrient, Cr (VI) is a known …

The linearization of adsorption equations is controversial. The estimation of fitting
parameters strongly depends on the linearization method, magnitude of experimental error …

In the present work, a new low-cost activated carbon was prepared from paper mill sludge in
order to remove Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solution. The effects of adsorbent dosage, pH …

Porous carbon is one of the most widely used materials to remove Cr (VI) from polluted
water. Here we reported one efficient porous carbon material prepared from corn straw. The …

Heavy metal pollution is a major problems in the environment. The impact of toxic metal ions
can be minimized by different technologies, viz., chemical precipitation, membrane filtration …
