Activated carbons prepared from industrial pre-treated cork: Sustainable adsorbents for pharmaceutical compounds removal

Industrial pre-treated cork - granules of expanded corkboard, prepared from renewable biomass - was used for the first time as precursor for the preparation of eco-friendly activated carbons by chemical (K2CO3 and KOH) and physical (steam) activation. Samples with different textural (microporosity/m...
