This paper provides the basis for understanding the preparation and properties of an old, but
advanced material: activated carbon. The activated carbons discussed herein are obtained …

Carbon plays a dual role as a catalyst or a catalyst support for chemical and enzymatic
biomass transformation reactions due to its large specific surface area, high porosity …

A NORIT activated carbon was modified by different chemical and thermal treatments
(including oxidation in the gas and liquid phases) in order to obtain materials with different …

The methods for the determination of various types of oxygen surface functions on carbon
materials are briefly described, and their relative advantages and problems that may arise …

In addition to its use as a catalyst support, carbon can find application as a catalyst on its
own, and a large number of applications of carbon as a catalyst, both in the liquid and in the …

A series of activated carbons with different degrees of activation were oxidized with
H2O2,(NH4) 2S2O8 and HNO3 in order to introduce different oxygen surface complexes …

Electrochemical surface oxidation of Vulcan XC-72, a carbon black commonly used in
proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, was studied following potentiostatic treatments …

Pitch-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were modified with nitric acid and sodium
hydroxide. Their physicochemical properties were investigated in terms of N2 adsorption …

A laboratory-scale packed-bed reactor system is used to screen sorbents for their capability
to remove elemental mercury from various carrier gases. When the carrier gas is argon, an …

Variation in the nature of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) subjected to different
degrees of oxidation was investigated. The microstructure was determined by high …
