In this study, the N-doping of biomass-activated carbon with dicyandiamide was performed
via an ultrasonic method and a redox method. BET, SEM, EDS, FT-IR and XPS were used to …

Large amounts of process water with considerable concentrations of recalcitrant organic
contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs), phenolic compounds (PCs) …

Currently, biochar (BC) has shown promising potential in groundwater and surface-water
remediation. In this work, Trapa natans husks based biochar (TBC) was prepared and …

Biochar amendments can reduce nitrate (NO 3) leaching in agricultural soil. It has been
hypothesized that functional groups on the biochar surface from oxidation can increase NO …

In the adsorption process, the surface area, pore and particle size distribution and the
chemical structure of the solid and the type of adsorbent are of vital importance. Activated …

The use of activated carbons (ACs) for environmental applications is widening as new
challenges emerge. In recent years, for example, particular attention has been focused on …

The effects of oxidation using HNO3 on the properties of the carbonized wheat and barley
straw were investigated by measuring different properties such as specific surface area …

Nitrate-nitrogen (NO3−–N) removal and garden waste disposal are critical concerns in
urban environmental protection. In this study, biochars were produced by pyrolyzing various …

Air pollution related to the release of industrial toxic gases, represents one of the main
concerns of our modern world owing to its detrimental effect on the environment. To tackle …

Carbon monoxide is a feedstock used in the petrochemical industry for production of many
chemicals. These processes require separation or purification of CO. Adsorption is a cost …
