Arsenic removal by iron-doped activated carbons prepared by ferric chloride f…

Abstract. Ferric chloride forced hydrolysis is shown to be a good method for increasing the iron content of activated carbons (ACs). Iron content increased linearly with hydrolysis time, and ACs with iron content as high as 9.4 wt.% at 24 h hydrolysis time could be prepared. The increase in iron content did not produce any modification in the textural parameters determined by nitrogen adsorp…
