Activated carbon adsorbent derived from waste biomass, “Croton caudatus” for efficient removal of 2-chlorophenol from aqueous solution: Kinetics, isotherm, thermodynamics and DFT simulation

Porous activated carbons derived from waste Moroccan pine cones for high-performance adsorption of bisphenol A from water

“…These materials are characterised by the high capture capacity of different substances, large surface area, large pore volumes, high micropores, and better adsorption capacity [ 20 , 21 ]. Indeed, biomass-derived AC was intensively investigated from different feedstocks such as wheat straw, palm shell, potato peels, coffee waste, tea Leaves, coconut shell, Croton caudatus and Prosopis juliflora [ 15 , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] ].…”
