## Abstract The objective of this study was to modify peanut shells to enhance their adsorptive properties toward the metal ions cadmium (Cd^2+^), copper (Cu^2+^), nickel (Ni^2+^), lead (Pb^2+^) and zinc (Zn^2+^). Milled peanut shells were initially washed with water or 0.1βN NaOH or left unwashed.

Several series of activated carbons have been prepared from almond shells by mean of carbonization in a flow of nitrogen followed by activation in a flow of carbon dioxide. The carbonized material is essentially microporous with pore dimensions close to those of the nitrogen molecule as deduced from
## Abstract Water quality and public health impacts of mass produced poultry manure have prompted the need for viable conversion and reuse solutions. Conversion of poultry manure to valueβadded granular activated carbons for environmental remediation can be such a solution. The objective of this st
