## Abstract The chemical composition of brewer's spent grain (BSG), generated from a process using 100% malted barley, was investigated. BSG is mainly composed of (g kg^−1^) hemicellulose (284), lignin (278), cellulose (168) and protein (152.5), but it also contains extractives and ashes in smaller

Preparation of activated carbons from eucalyptus kraft lignin has been investigated. A pretreatment method has been established to avoid partial fusion and swelling in the carbonization stage. Carbonization has been studied at different temperatures and the structure of the microporous chars has bee
Activated carbons have been prepared from a lignocellulosic waste material by chemical activation. Phosphoric acid and zinc chloride have been used as activating agent. The influence of process variables on the carbons' surface area was studied to optimize these parameters. The textural properties o
Olive-seed waste residue char was employed as the precursor for the production of activated carbons with KOH activation. The effects of activation time and activation temperature on porosity of the prepared carbons were studied. The products were characterized by N 2 adsorption at 77 K, using the BE
