Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
An extensive study on the use of different materials as green adsorbents for eliminating environmental pollutants from wastewaters is provided in this chapter. This chapter focuses on two topics i.e. synthesis of activated carbon from cost effective agricultural sources, which are environment friendly and use of agricultural wastes/residues, by-products, natural sources etc. for the production of green adsorbents. This classification helps study the synthesis of green adsorbents in detail.
Keywords:
Agricultural wastes, agro-based activated carbon, fly ash, food residues, fruits, industrial wastes, municipal wastes, peels, preparation routes, vegetables.
