- Abstract
The article discusses removal of copper from water by activated carbon. Activated carbon is characterized by high surface area and strong sorption capacity toward various sorbates. The preparation of activated carbon having different pore structure and surface area generally includes prolysis and activation of wood, polymers and wastes. Waste tires contain a high percentage of carbon additive and activated carbon can be derived from the pyrolysis of waste tires. The ready-for-use activated carbon donated by a waste tire prolysis company in Taiwan was pre-treated prior to the sorption study in our laboratory for the purpose of study.
