Pecan shell chars were activated using steam, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), or phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) to produce granular activated carbons (GACs). The GACs were characterized for select physical, chemical and adsorption properties. Air oxidation of the GACs was used to increase copper ion (Cu 2 ) ad

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Palm kernel shell activated carbon (OPSA) produced by steam gasification at high temperatures generally results in high surface areas of 1146 to 1600 m^2^ g^โ1^, attributed to the high volume of micropores (0.43 to 0.56 cm^3^ g^โ1^). The mesoporosity of naturally occurri
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** There exists now a widely held view that the methane storage capacity on an activated carbon is not related to any of the routinely determined properties of the adsorbent, such as surface area or micropore volume. This has been confirmed and a correlation pursued with ot
Two carbons with different sulfur contents were prepared and oxidized either by heating in air or by chemical treatment. The samples were then tested as adsorbents of arsine in dynamic conditions at room temperature, both in dry conditions and in the presence of moisture. Chemical and structural fea
