Pb2+ adsorption from aqueous solutions on activated carbons obtained from lignocellulosic residues

Activated carbons obtained from cane sugar bagasse (ACB), African palm pit (ACP) and sawdust (ACS) were prepared through an impregnated with HNO3 and thermal treatment in an atmosphere in N2/steam water at 1173 K. Adsorption isotherms of N2 at 77 K and of CO2 at 273 K were determined for the activat...
