Activated carbon (AC) was obtained from the cotton (Gossypium malvaceae) processing waste materials. The process was carried out by carbonization at 500–800 °C and subsequent activation at 800 °C by water stream. Cotton biomass is a renewable, low-cost alternative source for textile and food products; however, it hasn't been used for manufacturing of an activated carbon by carbonization in a boiling layer method. Characterization of adsorbents by means of Scanning Electronic Microscope and FT-IR showed that high porosity of carbonized products which was achieved and functional groups were form ...Более
