Formation of self-nitrogen-doping activated carbon from Fish/sawdust/ZnCl2 by hydrothermal and pyrolysis for toxic chromium adsorption from wastewater

Abstract This study gives a description of the formation of self-nitrogen doped activated carbon (NDAC) by a novel way of employing fish meal (mixture of Atherina hepseetus and Sardina pilchardus of 60% protein) as nitrogen dopant, ZnCl2 as impregnate agent, sawdust as carbon source and water with a...
