Acid-Activated Carbons from Peanut Shells: Synthesis, Characterization and Uptake of Organic Compounds from Aqueous Solutions
Activated carbon with a high adsorption capacity for the removal of organic compounds from aqueous solutions was made from phosphoric acid-activated peanut shells. Adsorption isotherms for the uptake of phenol, iodine, Methylene Blue and tannic acid were obtained at 22°C. Freundlich, Langmuir and pr...
