Preparation of activated carbons from CD waste for the adsorption of SO2 and NOx: a study by adsorption calorimetry
Plastic waste from compact disks (CDs) poses a significant environmental issue. In this work, such waste was repurposed as a precursor to synthesize activated carbons via chemical activation with KOH and H 3 PO 4 . The resulting materials were further functionalized with amino and acidic groups to enhance their...
