[ 1 ] - Optimization of Pb(II) Adsorption onto Australian Pine Cones-Based Activated Carbon by Pulsed Microwave Heating Activation

This study proposed a novel method for preparing activated carbon from Australian Pine cones (APCs) to optimize Pb(II) adsorption. Based on an analysis conducted, the APCs dried powder consisted of approximately 51.32 wt% of cellulose and 21.15 wt% of lignin on average. Experiments in batch mode at 100-rpm stirring speed, pH 4.7 (± 0.3) and 27 oC (± 2 o</su...
