Chemical activation of hickory and peanut hull hydrochars for removal of lead and methylene blue from aqueous solutions

Hickory and peanut hydrochars were chemically activated with KOH and H3PO4 and tested for their ability to remove methylene blue and lead from aqueous solutions. The physicochemical characteristics of the activated hydrochars determined were surface area, pore volume, and elemental composition. Kine...
