Using cocoa (Theobroma cacao) shell-based activated carbon to remove 4-nitrophenol from aqueous solution: Kinetics and equilibrium studies

The cocoa shell (CS) flake was ground, sieved and pressed into pellets. The pellets were carbonized at 800 degrees C and subjected to activation at 850 degrees C under a flow of CO(2) for several activation burn off. The cocoa shell-based activated carbon (CSAC) showed moderate surface area (248 m(2...
