Adsorption of Cd (II) Ions from Aqueous Solution Using Activated Carbon Prepared from Vitellaria paradoxa Shell

Adebayo G.B., Adekola F.A., Jimoh A.A., Alao F.O., Adegoke H.I., University of Ilorin, NG

Activated carbon prepared from vitellaria paradoxa shell using ortho-phosphoric acid as activating agent was used for the removal of Cd (II) ions from aqueous solution. The adsorbent sample was characterized by some physicochemical and spectroscopic [...]

NanoActive Metal Oxides: Unique Materials with Unlimited Potential

Koper O.B., Rajagopalan S., NanoScale Materials, Inc., US

NanoActive materials are novel forms of metal oxides that possess extremely high surface areas (100-700 m2/g), defect-rich morphology (many corner and edge sites), large porosities (up to 1 cc/g), and small crystallite sizes (2-10 nm). [...]
