Adsorption of Textile Dyes on to Activated Carbons Synthesized from Solid Waste: Decolourizing Power in Relation to Surface Properties

Powdered wood of Eucalyptus rostrata (Myrtaceae family) obtained as a solid waste was carbonized at 873 K in a nitrogen flow. The resulting products were activated with steam (CS), zinc chloride (CZ) and phosphoric acid (CA) to obtain three series of activated carbon. The textural properties, includ...
