Determination and removal of toxic compounds in water in industrial areas using agricultural by-products derived activated carbons Hasselt University
Adsorption is the most popular process of water cleaning due to its efficiency and wide availability of feasible adsorbents. The cost of activated carbon (AC) for water treatment is considered the major problem associated with the use of AC. Wood and bituminous coal are the main raw materials for the production of AC on industrial scale. Since the raising of coal price and limited forest resources, it is necessary to find new precursors with low ...
