“…Petroleum residues, natural coal and woods were for a long time, the main AC precursors. However, in recent years, easily available natural materials such as pumpkin seed hull [14], coconut bunch waste [15], broad bean peels [16], grass waste [17], pineapple stem waste [18], spent tea leaves [19], etc., and synthetic materials/wastes have been processed at low cost and have been tested as raw materials for manufacturing AC or biosorbents [7,[20][21][22][23][24][25], so-called because of their renewable character, a factor which will contribute to mitigating the problem of waste disposal. Moreover, both the regeneration of the adsorbent [26] and the recovery of the adsorbate at competitive rates [27] have been reported in the literature.…”
