Phosphoric and boric acid activation of pine sawdust

Characterization and application of activated carbon produced from oak cups pulp

“…The activated carbons obtained from pine sawdust using H 3 PO 4 had surface area ranging from 1559 to 1767 m 2 g −1 [26], while that obtained from eucalyptus bark [6], pecan shell [27], woody biomass birch [13], olive mill waste [24], flax [25] and chestnut wood [14] using H 3 PO 4 had surface area of 1239, 1130, 761, 336, 1290 and 783 m 2 g −1 , respectively. On the other hand, the activated carbons obtained from macadamia nutshell [7] and wood [28] using ZnCl 2 had a surface area of 1718 and 1450 m 2 g −1 , respectively, while that obtained from olive kernels using KOH had a surface area of 3049 m 2 g −1 [3].…”

Chemical-activated carbons from peach stones for the adsorption of emerging contaminants in aqueous solutions

“…solutions) and the resulting solid is activated at lower temperatures than those used in the physical methodology [7,8]. Some previous works report several conditions using different precursors and chemical activating agents [9,10].…”

Simplified Fixed Bed Design Models for the Adsorption of Acid Dyes on Novel Pine Cone Derived Activated Carbon

“…However, the abundant supply of ground pine cone as a waste from national parks makes production of activated carbon from this material more financially viable since using grain or coal as raw materials for activated carbon requires extra amount of money for the raw material procurement. Only three previous studies have produced activated carbons from pine sawdust (Tseng et al 2003;Munoz et al 2003;Munoz-Gonzalez et al 2009).…”
