Citrus pectin derived porous carbons as a superior adsorbent toward removal of methylene blue

摘要

An adsorbent, citrus pectin derived porous carbons with ultra-high adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption rate and good reusability toward removal of methylene blue, was synthesized by a facile zinc chloride activation approach in this study. The materials hold a great potential for treatment of dye wastewater. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
