摘要:AbstractAgricultural residues were evaluated as raw material in the production of adsorbents for phenol removal from aqueous solutions. A comparative evaluation of acid and basic activating agents is presented. Adsorption kinetics and equilibrium were satisfactorily described by the pseudo second-order and Freundlich models, respectively. Adsorption tests showed that the prepared adsorbents presented higher adsorption capacity than activated carbons produced from other agricultural residues, confirming that this type of waste material is a suitable candidate for use in the production of adsorbents.
