Adsorption is the most widely adopted, effective, and reliable treatment process for the
removal of inorganic and organic contaminants from wastewater. One of the major issues …

Renewable biomass and its waste are considered among the most promising applications
materials owing to the depletion of fossil fuel and concerns about environmental pollution …

Although tremendous works have been done on metal adsorption via biochar, mechanisms
responsible for metal adsorption remain uncertain. This is the first work that provides direct …

This study aims to produce three kinds of activated biocarbon prepared from lignocellulosic
biomass-olive pomace–by thermochemical treatment by steam, K 2 CO 3, and simultaneous …

Activated carbons (ACs) have been widely used in many aspects of production and life,
while a mass of used ACs are generated as hazardous wastes each year. Currently, waste …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) use granular activated carbons (GACs) as odor
retainers because of their high surface area and porosity. The volatile compounds retained …
