A Study of the Adsorption of Aromatic Compounds Using Activated Carbons Prepared from Chestnut Shell

Activated carbons (ACs) prepared from chestnut shell were used as adsorbents for the removal of benzoic acid, salicylic acid and phenol from aqueous solutions. Adsorption studies were carried out by modifying activation temperature, concentration of activating acid and pH. The samples presented a mi...
