K2CO3-Activated Pomelo Peels as a High-Performance Adsorbent for Removal of Cu(II): Preparation, Characterization, and Adsorption Studies
Activated carbons (ACs) were prepared from pomelo peels by K2CO3 activation and used as an adsorbent (PAC) for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. BET, SEM, and FT-IR were employed for the characterization of the obtained ACs. The optimum ACs were reported at activation temperature of 850°...
