Preparation and characterization of activated carbon from pineapple waste biomass for dye removal

Adsorptive uptake of basic dyes from aqueous solution by novel brown linseed deoiled cake activated carbon: Equilibrium isotherms and dynamics

“…However, due to its high cost and consistent loss during the regeneration process, the quest for cheaper, renewable and abundant wastes biomass as precursors for activated carbon production has increased in recent years. Recently, activated carbons derived from walnut and poplar woods (Heibati et al 2015), rice straw (El-Bindary et al 2015), coconut shell (Isah et al 2015), pineapple waste biomass (Mahamad et al 2015), bamboo (Chan et al, 2009;Ahmad and Hameed, 2010), Loofa egyptiaca (El-Ashtoukhy, 2009), avocado kernel seeds (ElizaldeGonzález et al 2007), mango seed (Mangifera Indica L.), guava (Psidium guajava L.) and orange (Citrus sinensis L.) (Elizalde-González and Hernández-Montoya 2008), rattan sawdust (Hameed et al 2007), sun flower oil cake (Karagoz, 2008), jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) peel , olive stones (Spahis et al 2008), Flamboyant (Delonix regia) pods (Vargas et al 2011), Borassus aethiopum (palm flower) biomass (Nethaji et al 2010), and cherry stones (Nowicki et al 2015) have been reported for decolourization of dyes-laden wastewaters.…”

Efficient adsorption of dyes from aqueous solution by poly(vinyl alcohol‐co‐ethylene) nanofibre membranes modified with β‐cyclodextrin

“…A lot of research has been conducted aimed at the efficient removal of organic/inorganic impurities and contaminants from aqueous solutions, for instance, chemical precipitation [1,2], ion exchange [3,4], filtration [5], and persulphate oxidation [6][7][8]. Activated carbon was the first practical adsorbent widely used in removing different kinds of pollution, including dyes [10], biochemical oxygen demand [11,12], chemical oxygen demand [13], and most organic contaminants [14,15].

Preparation and Characteristics of Highly Microporous Activated Carbon Derived From Empty Fruit Bunch of Palm Oil Using Koh Activation

“…For commercial, biomass waste or agricultural solid waste was favorably used as a raw material for the preparation of activated carbon due to it available in large quantity. 11,12 The objective of this work was to maintain a clean environment as well as to achieve a vision of zerowaste strategy of palm oil industry, research and development activities were focused on the utility of biomass solid wastes empty fruit bunch (EFB) as an alternative precursor for manufacturing activated carbon. The use of empty fruit bunch has some advantages such as low-cost materials, available in large quantity and environmental advantages.…”
