Modification of Activated Carbon for the Adsorption of Humic Acid

Commercial activated carbon treated with sulphuric and phosphoric acids was used to remove humic acids (HAs) from water. To achieve this goal, the iodine indices of treated and untreated materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction and nitrogen physisorption. Adsorption assays for HAs evaluated...
