Abstract
AbstractIndividual adsorption studies of Cs+, Tl+, Sr2+ and Co2+ on activated carbons from aqueous solutions are reported. The carbon samples were characterised using different techniques. The surface area and the micro‐, meso‐ and macropore volumes of all samples have been calculated. The chemical nature of the surface of the activated carbons was also studied. Optimal conditions for the adsorption of the metal ions have been identified. The adsorption of these cations by the carbon samples was also determined in the presence of a number of different anions. The data suggest the possible use of activated carbons for the preconcentration and separation of some cations.
