Activated carbon xerogels for the removal of the anionic azo dyes Orange II and Chromotrope 2R by adsorption and catalytic wet peroxide oxidation

Activated carbon xerogels (ACXs) were tested for the removal of azo dyes in aqueous solutions, either by adsorption or by catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO). Two azo dyes, Orange II (OII) and Chromotrope 2R (C2R), were chosen as model pollutants. The ACXs were produced by activation of an organ...
