Porous structure and surface chemistry of phosphoric acid activated carbon from corncob (2012, background): “It has been known for a long time that agro-wastes such as fruit stones are suitable raw materials for the production of high-quality activated carbons [5–10].”
Adsorption of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions using mesoporous activated carbon adsorbent: Equilibrium, kinetics and characterisation studies (2017, background): “This has driven research into the use of inexpensive alternative activated carbon precusors such as waste materials from agriculture, wood and fisheries industry (Dias et al., 2007).”
Application of magnetic chitosan composites for the removal of toxic metal and dyes from aqueous solutions. (2013, background): “A number of materials have been investigated extensively for this purpose [12–20] and activated carbon has undoubtedly been the most popular adsorbent used widely throughout the world for the removal of various pollutants [21–24].”
Characterization of Ladle Furnace Slag from Carbon Steel Production as a Potential Adsorbent (2013, methodology): “The slag as an alternative adsorbent has been used to remove heavy metals in the environmental field due to its unique properties [9, 10].”
