Adsorption Capacities of Activated Carbons Derived from Rice Straw and Water Hyacinth in the Removal of Organic Pollutants from Water
Two activated carbons were prepared from unconventional raw materials, i.e. rice straw (RS) and water hyacinth (WH), using the same activation scheme, i.e. impregnation with 50 vol% H 3 PO 4 followed by pyrolysis at 500°C. The porosity characteristics of the samples were determined via nitrogen adso...
