“…The results obtained in the biosorption tests indicate that PCS can be used as biosorbent of nickel and others heavy metals, as shown the results of studies conducted with this biosorbent and several heavy metals (Blázquez et al, 2012;Degirmen et al, 2012;Ofomaja and Naidoo, 2010;Ofomaja et al, 2014).…”

“…For example, Ofojama and Naidoo [19], in their studies, examined the effect of surface modification on the biosorption kinetics of lead(II) ions onto raw and NaOH modified pine cone powder. Also, these authors studied the kinetic behavior of the copper(II)-pine cone powder system with the variation of several process variables including solution pH, initial concentration and temperature [20].…”

“…Lignin strengthens the cell wall of biomass, protecting the cell wall from chemical, physical, and biological attack. High lignin content also contributes to low porosity and low biosorption capacities . The thermal stability of lignin is also very high, and hence is difficult to be decomposed …”

Canadian pine cones (pine cone type I and pine cone type II) and deoiled canola meal were utilized as precursors for preparation of powdered activated carbons (PACs) using thermo‐chemical process. Physicochemical properties of the biomass and obtained adsorbents were evaluated. Prepared PACs were investigated for the adsorptive removal of acyclovir (ACV) from aqueous solutions. Pine cone type I PAC was found to have well developed pores and surface area. It was found to be suitable for removal of ACV from aqueous solution. Response surface methodology was used for the optimization of ACV adsorption on PAC prepared from pine cone type I and the development of predictive model. A second‐order polynomial equation fitted data well which indicated that the process variables such as temperature, pH and especially adsorbent dose had large impact on the ACV adsorption process. The optimum conditions for ACV removal were found to be 39 °C, pH 8 and 2 g/L of pine cone type I PAC dose. At these conditions, the removal of ACV was 90.3 %, which was close to the maximum predicted value of 92.5 %.
