Low-temperature synthesis of functionalized activated carbon from blackboard (Alstonia scholaris) with improved selectivity for 2-methylpyridine removal: batch and column analyses.

Coal tar industry has been reported to discharge 2-methylpyridine (2Mp) in concentrations up to 150 mg L-1. For removal of 2Mp, activated carbon was synthesized from blackboard tre... Read full abstract on PubMed →
