Phyto-remediation of eutrophic water by kenaf(Hibiscus cannabinus L.) and their utilizations.

Adsorption Characteristics of Bisphenol A onto Carbonaceous Materials Produced from Wood Chips as Organic Waste

“…Adsorption onto carbon whose surface is hydrophobic is mainly based on the London dispersion force which is part of the van der Waals force. The more closely the adsorbate molecules in the pores are located to the surrounding pore walls, the higher will be the adsorption force (7). It was considered that the activation temperature increased the iodine adsorption capacity, increased the adorption force, and decreased the 1/N constant .…”

“…Any inexpensive materials with a high carbon content can be used as a raw material for the production of activated carbon. Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) has been used for papermaking (5), the oil sorbency of sorbents (6), the phytoremediation of eutrophic water (7), and as an adsorbent (8). Some activated carbons have been prepared from Sugi (Chamaecyparis obtusa Sieb.…”
