abstract Water is one of the most important components in the environment. This is essential
for all forms of life and leisurely plays a vital role in the world economy. The discharge of …

Pyrolysis liquids are the main products in biomass pyrolysis, and the strong acidity limits its
utilization. Likewise, activators are required in the process of preparing biomass-based …

In this study, magnetic characteristic was added to activated carbon (AC) obtained by ZnCl 2
activation of acorn shell. The produced magnetic AC (Fe-AC) was used effectively for the …

This study presents the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution using a new silver
nanoparticles-loaded tea activated carbon (AgNPs-TAC) material. In order to reduce costs …

In this study, a corncob-derived activated carbon was prepared via chemical activation using
potassium hydroxide as a chemical activating agent for the adsorption of H 2 S, NH 3 and …

In this work, activated carbons prepared from rice husk (RH) and coffee husk (CH), using
NaOH or ZnCl 2 as activating agents, were evaluated for the removal of acetaminophen …

This study developed a new adsorbent, specifically activated carbon-loaded silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs-AC) by coating the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto activated …

Recently, several types of food packaging have been developed to be able to prolong shelf-
life and maintain quality and safety of products. Many kinds of material have been applied in …

The paper reported a facile method to prepare activated carbons (ACs) with high methylene
blue (MB) adsorption capabilities via reflux-microwave-assisted activation approach. The …

Dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) is a short shelf-life, non-climacteric fruit which can be
easily destroyed by mold growth during storage time. This study investigated the use of …
