Preparation and Application of High Surface Area Activated Carbon Based on Pine Nut Shell

Adsorption of Creatinine on Pine Nut Shell-Based High Surface Area Activated Carbon

“…Pine nut shells were washed, dried and milled. The drying pine nut shells were carbonized at 400˚C in the presence of nitrogen for 3.0 h; then, the carbonized product was heated in the presence of a substantial weight of KOH at 650˚C ~ 850˚C for 2.0 h to activate the combination; finally, the activated product was washed with dilute HCl and distilled water and dried at 130˚C to form the porous carbon [23]. After the preparation of AC, we used Transmission Electron Micriscopy (TEM) to observe the morphology of AC.…”

“…In our previous studies, pine nut shells was used as the raw material by chemical, activation with KOH in proper temperature. Previous research has demonstrated the ability of activated carbon for MG adsorption [23]. The adsorption of CR on carbons has not many been studied before.…”
