Production and Characterization of Activated Carbon from Orange Peels by Chemical Activation with Sulfuric Acid
Résumé
Oranges represent 75% of the total citrus fruits (Guiza in Ecol Eng, 99: 134–140, 2017) throughout the world, and Tunisia is one of the major juice producers. Orange peels could cause a significant disposal problem but they are also valuable biomass wastes (Valdes et al. in Langmuir 18: 2111–2116, 2002; Fang et al. in Electrochim Acta 50: 3616–3621, 2005; He et al. in J Surg Oncol 102: 676–682, 2010).
