Activated carbon (AC) is an important material in various fields owing to its low cost, well-
developed porosity, and favorable chemical stability. Key factors for the optimal synthesis of …

Antibiotics, an important type of environmental contamination, have attracted many
researchers to the study of their removal from aqueous solutions. Adsorption technology is a …

The textural properties and surface chemistry of phosphoric acid-modified biochars (PABCs)
prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures (500–700° C) were studied based on the results …

The main objective of this study was to conduct an exhaustive review of the literature on the
presence of pharmaceutical-derived compounds in water and on their removal. The most …

Conventional wastewater treatment processes are ineffective for eliminating the emerging …

In this study, a novel activated-carbon was prepared from Bombax Buonopozense (AC-BBP)
and used for the adsorption of Congo red (CR) from aqueous solution and the prepared …

А highly effective adsorbent (PPhA) was designed using “acid catalyst” functionalisation and
tested for six emerging PhCs (sulfamethoxazole (SMX), carbamazepine (CBZ), ketoprofen …

Waste of wheat bran was used for the first time to prepare activated carbon with high specific
surface area via sodium hydroxide activation. The effects of activation temperature (700 …

Adsorption of two antibiotics, tetracycline (TC) and chloramphenicol (CAP), on a new porous
carbonaceous adsorbent, bamboo charcoal (BC), is investigated in batch and fixed bed …

Abstract In China, more than 3.5 million tons of Camellia oleifera discarded shells are
produced every year. This work first prepared phosphorus-containing biochar (PBC) from C …
