The objective of this research is to prepare high surface area activated carbon (AC) from agricultural biomass materials–pine nut shells–by the method of carbonization and alkaline activation. Adsorption isotherms of creatinine (CR) by pine nut shell-based high surface area activated carbon (AC) from aqueous medium have been studied. The results have been found that samples have larger capacity for removing CR from solution. The adsorption capacity of CR as intensity at first 50 min. After 50 min, it’s smooth and steady. The carbons prepared with KOH could be effectively used for the removal of CR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
