Impact of carbonization conditions and adsorbate nature on the performance of activated carbon in water treatment
Abstract The physical and chemical structure of activated carbon (AC) varies with the carbonization temperature, activation process and time. The texture and toughness of the starting raw material also determine the morphology of AC produced. The Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface area (SBET) is small fo...
