Olive stones have been widely used as a renewable energy biowaste source. As they are
rich in elemental carbon (40–45 wt%), much research focussed on effectively converting …

Studies has been conducted to compare the sorption properties between raw carbons made
from olive cake and commercial activated carbons to remove aquatic pollutant such as …

The present work explored the use of Tunisian olive-waste cakes, a by-product of the
manufacture process of olive oil in mills, as a potential feedstock for the preparation of …

This work presents an innovative, fully environmentally friendly method of obtaining
bioorganic activated carbon based on olive stones by applying banana plant extract as an …

A series of activated carbons prepared by a two-step steam activation of olive stone and
solvent extracted olive pulp (SEOP) have been used in an attempt to investigate the total …

Olive husk was used for the preparation of activated carbon by chemical activation with
KOH. The effects of carbonization and activation time on carbon properties were evaluated …

An experimental design (Doehlert matrix) has been drawn up to optimize the experimental
conditions of the preparation of activated carbon from olive-waste cakes. A series of …

The yearly production of olives in Jordan is more than 100 kton of which a significant
proportion is de-stoned prior to sale. In this work, olive stones from Jordan were used for the …

Activated carbons have been prepared by a two-step physical activation with steam at
different burn-off levels to study the porosity development and its effect in zinc adsorption …

The removal of As (III) from aquatic solutions at different concentrations and pH by using four
types of activated carbons obtained from solvent extracted olive pulp and olive stone waste …
