Textural characteristics of activated carbons derived from tabah bamboo manufactured by using H3PO4 chemical activation

Triple activation (thermal-chemical-physical) in the development of an activated carbon from tobacco: characterizations and optimal conditions for Cd2+ and Pb2+ removal from waters

“…It is noteworthy that among the activating agents, H 3 PO 4 is one of the most widely used for the activation of lignocellulosic biomass, because it is less dangerous for the environment, is easily recovered by washing with water, is reusable, produces less corrosion than alkaline hydroxides, and produces high yields (Negara et al 2020). In addition, it is possible to adjust the textural properties and surface chemistry of activated carbon by precisely selecting the conditions used during the activation process with H 3 PO 4 (Quesada-Plata et al 2016).…”

Functionalized Activated Carbon Derived from Palm Kernel Shells for the Treatment of Simulated Heavy Metal-Contaminated Water

“…The microcrystalline structure of activated carbon possesses interlayer spacing of 0.34-0.35 nm. It cannot be transformed into graphite even if it is heated higher than 2000 • C; that is why it is known as non-graphite microcrystal [21,22]. This microcrystalline structure imparts the porous structure to the activated carbon.…”

Assessment and treatment of floodwater in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta using a simple filter system based on silver nanoparticles coated onto activated carbon derived from rice husk

“…AC adsorbs contaminants in water favourably due to its physicochemical properties, such as the large specific surface area, highly developed porosity, and abundant functional groups on the surface. Recently, the development of AC from agricultural waste and biomass including coconut shell, 3 tabah bamboo, 4 banana peel, 5 spent coffee grounds, 6 Baobab fruit shell, 7 Thuja occidentalis leaves, 8 Litsea glutinosa seeds 9,10 have received increasing attention. Therefore, the utilization of the rice husk waste in the great granary of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta as the precursor for AC synthesis both brings high economic value and solves environmental problems.…”
