Due to their high porosity, chemically activated porous carbons find extensive use in various
applications including gas capture, energy storage, and environmental remediation. Such …

Micropollutants, also called emerging contaminants, consist of an extensive group of
synthetic and natural substances, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products …

Biomass-synthesized biochar has abundant pore structure, large specific surface area, and
strong adsorption capacity. Phase change materials (PCMs) have obvious advantages in …

This study aimed to develop an extremely highly porous activated carbon derived from
soybean curd residues (SCB-AC) through two-step pyrolyzing coupled with KOH activating …

This study investigated the influence of one-step and two-step KOH activation on the
characteristics of activated carbons. The biomass precursors [Kanlow Switchgrass (KS) and …

During the past few years, there has been growing concern about the presence of various
pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in water systems. Although their …

Precursor type and activation agent are the main factors that influence the production of
activated carbon (AC) with desirable properties. Biomass based materials are generally …

Phosphate (P)-modified biochar is a good material for cadmium (Cd) immobilization, and the
pore-forming effect of potassium ions (K+) can favor the P loading on biochar. However, few …

Biomass wastes are abundant around us. They are renewable and inexpensive. Product
manufacturing from renewable resources has caught increasing interest recently. Activated …

Semiconductor-based photocatalysis is one of the favorable techniques for the wastewater
treatment. Herein, we synthesized the activated carbon-decorated cerium dioxide (AC-CeO …
