Herbs carbonization and activation for fast sorption of nitrate ions: a new challenge for a full treatment of groundwater pollution

Successful removal of fluoride from aqueous environment using Al(OH)3@AC: column studies and breakthrough curve modeling

“…17,18 Carbonaceous materials are an interesting adsorbent that can be used for pollutant removal from water. 19–21 However, most types of porous carbons, such as activated carbon, showed a visible decrease in efficiency after the first cycle. The adsorption process explained that the surface functionality is reduced due to its low chemical stability, resulting in the leaching of material, waste and associated costs.…”
