ENHANCED ADSORPTION OF PHENOL USING ALKALINE MODIFIED ACTIVATED CARBON PREPARED FROM OLIVE STONES

ABSTRACT Activated carbon (AC) prepared from olive stone (OSAC) was modified separately by ammoniac (OSAC/AM) and sodium hydroxide (OSAC/H) aqueous solutions impregnation in order to improve their adsorption properties toward phenol. The raw and modified activated carbons were characterized. The por...
