Chemical and thermochemical transformations were performed on orange peel to obtain
materials that were characterized and further tested to explore their potential as adsorbents …

Variety of heavy metals found their way into the environment as a result of the noxious
release of untreated wastewater from industries, causing severe pollution to our natural …

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 …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) as a green eco-technology have been applied for treating
various wastewaters for several decades. However, sustainable reclamation of the …

Biomass can be converted into energy, fuels, and value-added products by adopting proper
conversion or production methods. For many years, biomass has been considered to be a …

Four activated carbons were prepared from corncob, acid hydrolysis residue, alkaline
