Preparation of Copper-Decorated Activated Carbon Derived from <i>Platamus occidentalis</i> Tree Fiber for Antimicrobial Applications

Preparation of Copper-Decorated Activated Carbon Derived from <i>Platamus occidentalis</i> Tree Fiber for Antimicrobial Applications

This study focuses on a greener approach to synthesizing activated carbon by carbonizing <i>Platamus occidentalis</i> tree fibers (TFSA) with 98% H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> at 100 °C. The resulted TFSA was employed as an effective adsorbent for copper ions in aqu...
