Performance and mechanisms of waste-based carbon adsorbents in heavy metal removal – an experimental and theoretical approach
A. Joshi, Gopi Ragupathy
Abstract
through charge transfer and orbital overlap. Although comparative studies on carbon-based adsorbents exist, simultaneous use of experimental evaluation and theoretical modelling has been rarely explored.
