Woody residues of the grape production chain as an alternative precursor of high porous activated carbon with remarkable performance for naproxen uptake from water
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2021-10-16)
Activated carbon prepared from grape branches was used as a remarkable adsorbent to uptake naproxen and treat a synthetic mixture from aqueous solutions. The material presented a highly porous texture, a surface area of ...
Efficient removal of naproxen from aqueous solution by highly porous activated carbon produced from Grapetree (Plinia cauliflora) fruit peles
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
In this work, jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora) fruit peels were pyrolyzed in the presence of zinc chloride to generate a novel porous adsorbent to remove naproxen (NPX) from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity ...
Application of araçá fruit husks (Psidium cattleianum) in the preparation of activated carbon with FeCl3 for atrazine herbicide adsorption
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2022-04)
The residual husks of the edible fruits of Psidium cattleianum were carbonized with FeCl3 as an activating agent and used as an adsorbent to remove the toxic herbicide. After the carbonization step, changes in the material’s ...
Adsorption of congo red and methylene blue dyes on an ashitaba waste and a walnut shell-based activated carbon from aqueous solutions: Experiments, characterization and physical interpretations
(Universidad de la Costa, 2020-01-28)
Activated carbons were prepared from ashitaba waste and a walnut shell to study the adsorption mechanism of congo red and methylene blue dyes in aqueous solution. These adsorbents were characterized via XRD, FTIR and SEM ...
Adsorption of ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and paracetamol onto activated carbon prepared from effluent treatment plant sludge of the beverage industry
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2020-09-15)
The presence of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals in aquatic means presents as a serious threat, since their real consequences for the environment and human health are not well known. Therefore, this work ...
Preparation of activated carbon from the residues of the mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) production chain for the adsorption of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic herbicide
(Corporación Universidad de la Costa, 2021)
The production of the edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus occurs on a world scale, where tons are constantly produced. At the same time, this production generates a large amount of waste that needs to be adequately conditioned. ...
KOH activated carbons from Brazil nut shell: preparation, characterization, and their application in phenol adsorption
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2022-11)
Activated carbons named AC105 and AC11 were prepared from Brazil nut shells using the weight ratios of Brazil nut shells: KOH of 1:0.5 and 1:1, respectively. The prepared materials were characterized using different ...
