Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a new way to convert abundant carbon dioxide (CO2) into formate (HCO2-), an industrial chemical used as a fuel, as an antibacterial/antifungal agent, and ...

Once in contact with the activated carbon, the VOC of interest is attracted to the carbon surface and subsequently adsorbed. Adsorption time is a function of the flowrate, VOC concentration, working ...

They found that iron powder was a better water purifier. "The iron powder was 26 times more effective than activated carbon per unit surface area," says Ji. Researchers outlined their findings in ...

Merits, limitations and innovation priorities for heterogeneous catalytic platforms to destroy PFAS. Nature Water, 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s44221-025-00433-8 ...

Cement production, responsible for 7.5% of global CO₂ emissions, faces decarbonization challenges. A novel strategy uses methane to co-produce syngas and clinker via a steel waste-derived iron ...

All the latest science news on activated carbon from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

In general, activated carbon can be produced by physical or chemical activation processes during the carbonization of palm oil kernels, and the resulting activation reaction can lead to the ...

Catalytic converters typically hold around 0.1 to 0.25 ounces of platinum, 0.07 to 0.25 ounces of palladium, and 0.04 to 0.07 ounces of rhodium.

When the researchers performed energy, mass and economic calculations, they estimated that the cost of producing activated carbon derived from wet sewage sludge was €17.53 (US$18.91) per kg.
