E. Bayer et al., RECOVERY OF ACTIVATED CARBONS FROM WASTES VIA LOW-TEMPERATURE CONVERSION .2. ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF APPLICABILITY, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 4(9), 1995, pp. 539-544
Activated carbons produced from Low Temperature Conversion chars of va
rious wastes were subjected to a number of adsorption tests (methylene
blue, iodine, COD- and humic acid adsorption, hexane and tetrachlorom
ethane adsorption) in order to compare their adsorption properties wit
h commercial samples. Together with the characterization of the inorga
nic components and water-solubles, these data permit an approximate es
timation of their ecological impact and possible fields of application
.
