a b s t r a c t In this study, an activated carbon with high-surface area was prepared from Paulownia (P. tomentose) wood by chemical activation with ZnCl2. The influences of carbonization temperature and impregnation ratio on the pore structure of the activated carbon were investigated. Activation temperatures and impregnation ratios were selected in the range of 400–700 0C and 0.5–4.0…
a b s t r a c t In this study, activated carbons were prepared from sugar beet bagasse by chemical activation and the prepared activated carbons were used to remove nitrate from aqueous solutions. In chemical activation, ZnCl2 was used as chemical agent. The effects of impregnation ratio and activation temperature were investigated. The produced activated carbons were characterized by measu…
