Removal of diclofenac from aqueous solutions by adsorption on thermo-plasma expanded graphite

Abstract The adsorption of diclofenac on thermo-plasma expanded graphite (a commercial product) from water solutions was investigated. The adsorbent material was characterized by SEM, TEM, BET, Raman and X-ray diffraction analyses. Typical diffractogram and Raman spectrum of graphitic material, dime...
