Adsorption of Naphthalene, Phenanthrene and Pyrene from Aqueous Solution Using Low-Cost Activated Carbon Derived from Agricultural Wastes
In this work, the adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous solution by rice husk activated carbon (RHAC) was compared with adsorption using conventional, powdered activated carbon as the adsorbent. The adsorbent capacity of RHAC was found to be higher than all other agricul...
