## Abstract The adsorption isotherms of cadmium(II) and zinc(II) onto activated carbons were obtained in a batch adsorber. The concentration decay data were obtained in a rotating basket adsorber and were interpreted by a mathematical model, which takes into account the adsorption rate, external ma

✦ Synopsis
Adsorption studies of Zn 2+, Cd*+, and Cu2+ from aqueous solutions at 293 K and 313 K on three activated carbons are reported. These carbons were obtained by activation of almond shells, olive stones, and peach stones by heating in CO, at 1123 K. From these isotherms some adsorption parameters have been determined. The influence of the solution pH on the adsorption processes has been studied. The extent of adsorption in the presence of Cl-, CN-, SCN-, or EDTA has been also investigated. The adsorptive behaviour of these activated carbons is explained on the basis of their chemical nature and porous texture.

## Abstract Activated carbons play an important role in the purification of air and of water. Whereas vapors are adsorbed by a micropore filling process, the removal of sparingly soluble species such as phenol and its derivatives is limited to the coating of the effective surface of the material. T
Chars, prepared by pyrolysis of prune pits at I or lS"C/min to 500, 700 or 9OO"C, were subsequently gasified by CO, at 900°C. Pyrolysis conditions did not significantly affect the porosity developed for a given mass loss due specifically to gasification reactions, i.e. excluding additional pyrolytic
The single adsorption of cadmium and copper from aqueous solutions has been investigated on Darco 12±20 mesh granular activated carbon for a wide range of experimental conditions: pH, metal concentration and carbon concentration.

Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide on iron catalysts prepared from Fe,(CO), and Fe,(CO),, supported on four activated carbons were studied. The catalysts, prepared and reduced in H, at 673 K for 12 h, were characterized by H, and CO chemisorption and TEM. The catalysts prepared from
