Synthesis of controlled porosity resorcinol formaldehyde organic and carbon xerogels for adsorption applications

The synthesis of resorcinol formaldehyde xerogels was investigated by controlling its porosity for potential use as a precursor for activated carbon adsorbents for heavy metals removal from industrial wastewater. Resorcinol formaldehyde carbon xerogels were synthesised by sol-gel polymerization of r...
