Activated carbons prepared from wood particleboard wastes: Characterisation a…

Abstract. The problems of valorisation of particleboardwastes on one hand, and contamination of aqueous effluents by phenoliccompounds on the other hand, are simultaneously consideredin thiswork. Preparation of activated carbons from a two steps thermo-chemical process, formerly designed for generating combustible gases, is suggested. The resultant carbonaceous residue is activated with stea…
