Exceptional Adsorption of Phenol and p-Nitrophenol from Water on Carbon Materials Prepared via Hydrothermal Carbonization of Corncob Residues

Phenol and p-nitrophenol (PNP) are priority pollutants widely present in wastewater. Developing superior or low-cost sorbents for their removal would be of great benefit. Here, corncob residues (CCR) were converted to hydrochars via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and further upgraded to carbon mat...
