Abstract:

The aim of the presented research was to obtain activated carbons from the residues of supercritical extraction of three plant materials: hop cones, chamomile flowers and green tea leaves. The physicochemical properties of the obtained carbon materials were determined. In the next stage of the research, the obtained sorbents were tested for suitability for the removal of organic pollutants from water on the example of rhodamine B. Activated carbons were also tested for the ability to remove toxic gases represented by nitric oxide (IV). The study also analyzed the influence of the type of precursor on the physicochemical and sorption properties of the obtained carbon materials. Recent publications 1.
