“…), which is mainly generated from the nature of the selected carbonaceous precursor [ 24 ]. Activated carbons present good properties due to their relatively low-cost and availability, their promising textural features, and tuneable surface chemistry heterogeneity [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. However, a disadvantage exists and is linked with the raw precursor from which ACs are synthesized, coconut shell, coal, and wood being the predominant feedstocks [ 33 ].…”

The aim of the present study is the synthesis of activated carbon (AC) from different agricultural wastes such as tea and plane tree leaves in order to use them for the removal of pramipexole dihydrochloride (PRM) from aqueous solutions. Two different carbonization and synthetic activation protocols were followed, with the herein-proposed ultrasound-assisted two-step protocol leading to better-performing carbon, especially for the tea-leaf-derived material (TEA(char)-AC). Physicochemical characterizations were performed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N2 physisorption, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). TEA(char)-AC presented the highest surface area (1151 m2/g) and volume of micro and small mesopores. Maximum capacity was found at 112 mg/g for TEA(char)-AC at an optimum pH equal to 3, with the Langmuir isotherm model presenting a better fitting. The removal efficiency of TEA(char)-AC is higher than other biomass-derived carbons and closer to benchmark commercial carbons.

Mesoporous carbon is a promising material having multiple applications. It can act as a catalytic support and can be used in energy storage devices. Moreover, mesoporous carbon controls body’s oral drug delivery system and adsorb poisonous metal from water and various other molecules from an aqueous solution. The accuracy and improved activity of the carbon materials depend on some parameters. The recent breakthrough in the synthesis of mesoporous carbon, with high surface area, large pore-volume, and good thermostability, improves its activity manifold in performing functions. Considering the promising application of mesoporous carbon, it should be broadly illustrated in the literature. This review summarizes the potential application of mesoporous carbon in many scientific disciplines. Moreover, the outlook for further improvement of mesoporous carbon has been demonstrated in detail. Hopefully, it would act as a reference guidebook for researchers about the putative application of mesoporous carbon in multidimensional fields.

“…From Table . S2, the k obs values increased from 2.4×10 -4 to 18.0×10 -4 mg -1 L min -1 with an increase in temperature from 283 to 303 K, indicating that the removal of TC was an endothermic reaction (Gu et al, 2021). As the temperature increased, the driving force between the adsorbent and solution became more extensive, which promoted the adsorption of TC (Wang et al, 2020a). The activation energy (E a ) could be quantified from the slope of the Arrhenius plot (Fig.…”

Naturally occurring Mn-rich limonite mainly composed of goethite and manganese oxides was used to remove tetracycline (TC) from the aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties of limonite were illustrated by various characterization techniques such as XRD, FE-TEM, XPS and FT-IR. The effects of dosage, initial solution pH, temperature and coexisting anions on TC removal were investigated. The results showed that TC could be efficiently adsorbed by limonite with high specific surface area and mesoporous structure through electrostatic interaction and complexation. The co-existence of PO43- inhibited the adsorption of TC by limonite due to the competition with TC for active sites. In addition, manganese oxides exhibited oxidative properties to TC, and the singlet oxygen (1O2) generated during the redox reaction was responsible for TC degradation. Furthermore, the regenerated limonite displayed an efficient recycling performance after four cycles. This study revealed that the Mn-rich limonite was a promising adsorbent for TC removal from aqueous solutions and promoted the application of natural mineral material in the environmental field.
