tailieunhanh - Lignocell ulosic Precursors used in the Synthesis of Activated Ca rbon - Characterization Techniques and Appl ications in the Wastewa ter Treatment

The synthesis and characterization of activated carbons (ACs) obtained from lignocellulosic precursors is a topic widely studied by a number of researchers worldwide. In the last decades, an increase has been observed in the number of publications related to the synthesis, modification, characterization and application of ACs obtained from lignocellulosic materials. Particularly, the applications of these carbons are primarily focused in the removal of several inorganic and organic pollutants from water and wastewaters | LIGNOCELLULOSIC PRECURSORS USED IN THE SyNTHESIS OF ACTIVATED CARBON -CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS IN THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT Edited by Virginia Hernandez Montoya and Adrián Bonilla Petriciolet Lignocellulosic Precursors Used in the Synthesis of Activated Carbon -Characterization Techniques and Applications in the Wastewater Treatment Edited by Virginia Hernandez Montoya and Adrian Bonilla Petriciolet Contributors A.
