Abstract:Acacia nilotica biomass was used to prepare activated carbon (ANAC-800) through pyrolysis at 800oC. The ANAC-800 was used as adsorbent for the fluoride sequestration in a batch and continuous column systems. The surface morphology, elemental composition as well as particle size distribution of the adsorbent was investigated with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Elemental and Particle Size Analyzers. What’s more, the influence of initial fluoride concentrations, column packing height and the flow rate on the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
