Thesis Topic/Title:
Development of Activated Carbon Composites for Drinking Water Treatment
Description
World’s activated carbon demand keeps on increasing for different environmental needs. In the meantime, several thousands of potential precursors for the production of activated carbon found in agricultural wastes such as nutshells find their way into landfills. These wastes can be converted into useful resources for application in water/ wastewater treatment. This project aims to identify the potentials of converting identified agricultural wastes into useful activated carbon and its composites for selected applications in water/wastewater treatment.
