CuCl-loaded activated carbons (ACs) have been used for the first time to remove harmful
nitrogen-containing compounds (NCCs) from model fossil fuels. The CuCl/ACs were …

Non-activated lignites were prepared by the carbonization of Egyptian lignite in a limited
quantity of air at 500° C, 700° C and 900° C, respectively. Zinc chloride-activated carbons …

In response to the growing global concern over environmental pollution, the exploration of
sustainable and eco-friendly materials derived from biomass waste has gained significant …

A commercially available activated carbon was oxidized by concentrated sulfuric acid,
saturated ammonium persulfate solution, and mixed sulfuric acid and ammonium persulfate …

Activated carbons were prepared from eucalyptus wood, by using three different “physical”
activating methods: air and CO2 partial gasification of wood char (2 hr, 400° C and 800° C …

The potential of black carbon as an adsorbent for pesticides in soils may be strongly
influenced by the properties of the adsorbent and pesticides and by the environmental …

In this study, adsorption kinetics of phenanthrene (PNT) and trichloroethylene (TCE) by a
graphene nanosheet (GNS), a graphene oxide nanosheet (GO), a single-walled carbon …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), as a type of superior adsorbents for both organic and inorganic
