1. Modeling adsorption of organic compounds on activated carbon : a multivariate approach
Abstract : Activated carbon is an adsorbent that is commonly used for removing organic contaminants from air due to its abundant pores and large internal surface area. This thesis is concerned with the static adsorption capacity and adsorption kinetics for single and binary organic compounds on different types of activated carbon. READ MORE

2. Refining of hydrochars/ hydrothermally carbonized biomass into activated carbons and their applications
Abstract : Hydrothermally treated biomass could not only be used as a fuel or a fertilizer but it can also be refined into high-value products. Activated carbons are one of those. READ MORE

4. Tailoring residue-derived carbon materials for the removal of wastewater contaminants : adsorption and surface properties
Abstract : The availability of effective, low-cost wastewater treatment is necessary for increased water recycling and the prevention of environmental pollution on a global scale. Adsorption on activated carbons is commonly applied in wastewater treatment, but the high cost of conventional activated carbons limits the use of this technique. READ MORE

5. Adsorption and transformation of organic micropollutants in wastewater : New insights from 14C-labeling
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the removal of organic micropollutants and transformation products using ozone and activated carbon treatment processes. A combination of 14C-labeled and non-radiolabeled organic micropollutants was used to study aspects of micropollutant removal from novel perspectives. READ MORE
