“…In view of the high cost and tedious procedure for the preparation and regeneration of activated carbon, there is continuing search for the development of adsorbents using cheaper raw materials. Many researchers have studied the feasibility of less expensive activated carbons prepared from oil shake (Darwish et al, 1996), soyabean hulls (Flock et al, 1999), bagasse fly ash , jute stick (Banerjee and Mathew, 1985), rice husk (Nawar and Doma, 1989), tamarind nut (Srinivasan et al, 1998), coconut coir (Hitchcock et al, 1983), salvinea molta (Sankaran and Anirudhan, 1999), coconut husk (Vinod and Anirudhan, 2002) for the removal of phenolic compounds. For any sorbent to be feasible, it must combine high adsorption capacity and fast adsorption capacity with inexpensive regeneration (Burleigh et al, 2002).…”

Many industries such as paper, food, cosmetics, textiles etc. use dye in order to colour their products. The presence of these dyes in water even at very low concentration is highly visible and undesirable. Colour is the first contaminant to be recognised. Photocatalytic technique and adsorption methods offer a good potential to remove colour from wastewater. In the present paper these two methods were employed for removal of Congo red and both the techniques were found to be very useful and cost effective for a better removal of dye and the results were compared. The operating variables such as adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentration, pH etc were optimised.

“…Hereafter, pyrolysis temperature is a significant factor. [41,46,47] The pyrolysis process is also affected by various parameters including heating rate, flow rate of inert gases, and pyrolysis residence time. [46] In the past few years, extensive research efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of JDC via direct pyrolysis (i. e. without using any activating agent) to tune the properties of these materials, such as surface area, pore characteristics, morphology, and surface functionality to enhance their potential in practical applications.…”

“…carbonized jute sticks at elevated temperatures in a controlled environment and produced a good yield and lightweight charcoal in the form of chips with high fixed carbon content. [47] The prepared chips were pressed by a hydraulic-type Carver press at a pressure of 35 kg cm À 2 and a temperature of 28°C, and 50 % volume reduction pellets were produced. It was reported that generally the hemicelluloses of any woody matters are more flammable and show a lower burning transition temperature than lignin and cellulose.…”

“…It was reported that generally the hemicelluloses of any woody matters are more flammable and show a lower burning transition temperature than lignin and cellulose. [47,48] Moreover, hemicellulose is amorphous, not crystalline like cellulose, and therefore more susceptible to hydrothermal extraction and hydrolysis. [47,48] As a result, the pre-hydrolysis process was carried out for water digestion of jute sticks to eliminate some hemicelluloses.…”

This article summarizes the preparation and applications of carbon derived from jute sticks and fibers that are low‐cost, widely available, renewable, and environmentally friendly. Both the fibers and sticks are considered ideal candidates of carbon preparation because they are composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, and contain negligible ash content. Various carbon preparation methods including simple pyrolysis, pyrolysis with chemical and physical activations are discussed. The impacts of several parameters including types of activating agents, impregnation ratio, and temperature on their morphology, surface area, pore size, crystallinity, and surface functional groups are also emphasized. Various treatments to endow functionalization for increasing the practical applicability, such as chemical, physical, and physico‐chemical methods, are discussed. In addition, applications of jute‐derived carbon in various practical areas, including energy storage, water treatment, and sensors, are also highlighted in this report. Due to the porous fine structure and a large specific surface area, the jute‐derived carbon could be considered as a powerful candidate material for various industrial applications. Finally, possible future prospects of jute‐derived carbon for various applications are pointed out.

“…In this regard adsorption is one of the promising methods for removal of heavy metals. Some organic and inorganic materials are used as adsorbents with and without pretreatment such as polymers [11], [12], zeolites [13], [14], lignite [15], waste tires [16], algae [17], crab shells [18], lignin [19], fly ash [20], [21], activated carbon from various agricultural residues [22]- [27], tree barks [8], [28]- [30] for removing various heavy metals from aqueous and waste water.…”
