Activated Carbon from Spent Coffee Grounds: A Good Competitor of Commercial Carbons for Water Decontamination

Activated Carbon from Spent Coffee Grounds: A Good Competitor of Commercial Carbons for Water Decontamination

In the framework of the circular economy, spent coffee grounds were converted into powdered activated carbon by means of pyrolysis, using potassium hydroxide as the activating agent. Its adsorption capacity on a panel of phenolic compounds was compared with those of two commercial powdered activated...
