Abstract
In the current world, storing and converting energy without affecting the natural ecosystem are considered a sustainable and efficient green energy source production technology. Especially, using low-cost, environmentally friendly, and high-cycle stability activated carbon (AC) from the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) waste material for charge storage application is the current attractive strategy for renewable energy generation. In this study, preparation of AC from water hyacinth using a mixed chemical activation agent followed by activation time was optimized by the I-optimal coordinate exchange design model based on a 3-factor/3-level strategy under nine experimental runs. The optimum conditions to prepare AC were found to be potassium hydroxide (≈17 g) and potassium carbonate (≈11 g), and the carbonization time was approximately 1 h. Under these augmented conditions, the maximum specific capacitance suggested by the designed model was found to be ≈75.2 F/g. The regression coefficient (R 2 = 0.9979), adjusted (R 2 = 0.9917), predicted (R 2 = 0.8706), adequate precision (39.2795), and p-values (0.0062) proved the good correlation between actual and predicted values. The physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the final optimized AC were characterized by thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and potentiostat (CV and EIS) instruments. Finally, the optimized AC electrode after 100 cycles at a current density of 2 A g-1 retains an efficiency of 71.57%, indicating the good stability and sustainability of this material.

Abstract
In recent years, intensive research efforts have focused on translating biomass waste into value-added carbon materials broadcasted for their significant role in energy and environmental applications. For the first time, high-performance carbonaceous materials for energy storage applications were developed from the multi-void structure of the boat-fruited shells of Sterculia Foetida (SF). In that view, synthesized mesoporous graphitic activated carbon (g-AC) via the combination of carbonization at various elevating temperatures of 700, 800, and 900 °C, respectively, and alkali activation by KOH, with a high specific surface area of 1040.5 m2 g-1 and a mesopore volume of 0.295 cm3 g-1. In a three-electrode configuration, the improved electrode (SF-K900) exhibited excellent electrochemical behavior, which was observed in an aqueous electrolyte (1 M H2SO4) with a high specific capacitance of 308.6 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g, owing to the interconnected mesopore structures and high surface area of SF-K900. The symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) delivered the specific capacitance of 138 F/g at 1 A/g with a high energy density (ED) of 13.4 Wh/kg at the power density (PD) of 24.12 kW/kg with remarkable cycle stability and supercapacitive retention of 93% over 5000 cycles. Based on the findings, it is possible to develop low-cost active electrode materials for high-rate performance SSC using mesoporous g-AC derived from SF boat-fruited shells.

Abstract
Utilization of kraft lignin to produce bio-based adsorptive material for effective dye adsorption from industrial wastewater is essential to fulfilling the significant environmental protection needs. Lignin is the most abundant byproduct material with a chemical structure containing various functional groups. However, the complicated chemical structure makes it somewhat hydrophobic and incompatible, which limits its direct application as an adsorption material. Chemical modification is a common way to enhance lignin properties. In this work, the kraft lignin was modified through direct amination using Mannich reaction and oxidization followed by amination as new route of lignin modification. The prepared lignins, including aminated lignin (AL), oxidized lignin (OL), and aminated-oxidized lignin (AOL), as well as unmodified kraft lignin, were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental analysis and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance measurements (1HNMR). The adsorption behaviors of modified lignins for the malachite green in aqueous solution were investigated well and discussed, as well as the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic equations. Compared with other aminated lignin (AL), the AOL displayed a high adsorption capacity of 99.1 % dye removal, due to its more effective functional groups. The change in structure and functional groups on the lignin molecules during oxidation and amination had no effect on its adsorption mechanisms. The adsorption process of malachite green on different kinds of lignin belongs to endothermic chemical adsorption, which mainly consists of monolayer adsorption. The modification of lignin through oxidation followed by amination process, afforded kraft lignin a broad potential application in the field of wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this research, chitosan-decorated activated carbon (AC-CS) was proposed. The AC was cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to prepare an adsorbent (AC-CS). The AC-CS has a rough surface. Adding the AC-CS directly to the dye solution can achieve simple and convenient removal of anionic azo dyes acid red 18 (AR-18). In the dye solution, the AC-CS was used as an adsorbent. The effects of pH, contact time, temperature, initial concentration of AR-18 and the AC-CS dosage on the adsorption efficiency were investigated. Full kinetic and isotherm analyses were also undertaken. In addition, the reusability of the AC-CS was evaluated, and the results showed that the removal rate of AR18 after regeneration remained relatively stable, above 90%. This experiment has shown that AC-CS is a promising anionic azo dye adsorbent.

Mechanistic and structure investigation of the KOH activation ZIF-8 derived porous carbon as metal-free for unprecedented peroxymonosulfate activation degradation of bisphenol A.

Abstract
The high-performance and free secondary pollution of the catalysts are the most critical issues in the peroxymonosulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PMS-AOPs). In this research, the KOH was used to activate ZIF-8 derived carbon materials to synthesize the NC-KOH-x (x = 700, 800, 900 °C), which was an effective metal-free PMS activator. As-prepared NC-KOH-x showed significant improvement not only pore structure and BET surface area but also CO groups, and graphite N content, which were beneficial for the adsorptive and oxidative reaction. The NC-KOH-900 as an excellent metal-free carbon-catalyst exhibited considerable reactivity for bisphenol A (BPA) removal in broad pH ranges. Almost 100% of BPA was eliminated using 9 mg NC-KOH-900, 0.5 mM PMS within 60 min. Interestingly, It was found that the BPA removal efficiency by adding PMS after saturated adsorption of NC-KOH-x was better than that by adding NC-KOH-x and PMS simultaneously. Electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching experiments results demonstrated that the BPA degradation relied mainly on the nonradical (1O2) pathways and the defects (ID/IG), graphitic nitrogen, pyridinic nitrogen, and CO were verified as leading catalytic sites for BPA degradation via PMS activation. Finally, degradation pathways of BPA were proposed and the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T.) result implicated that the intermediates of BPA were environmentally friendly to the microorganism and recycled in the ecosystem. The outcomes of this study illustrated the NC-KOH-x owned many merits of state-of-the-art, eco-friendly, and high-performance for great potential practical application value.

Abstract
One of the raw forms of graphite is activated charcoal which has an extensive surface area allowing for the adsorption of a wide range of chemicals. It possesses the strongest physical adsorption forces of the available materials, as well as the largest volume of adsorbing porosity. Activated charcoal acts as an adsorbent, collecting and storing substances in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing or blocking absorption in the bloodstream. The ingested toxins interact with charcoal by recycling toxins in the intestinal cavity. In cases where the drug has not been absorbed from the abdominal system, it is recirculated through the liver and intestines or by means of passive diffusion or active secretion. The article aims to review the most recent advances in the use of the activated charcoal, including the dose, how charcoal acts in the body, the mechanism of action, administration, contraindications, as well as the impact of various factors on the adsorption process. In addition, we also discussed numerous medical applications of activated charcoal.

Abstract
Water pollution is a major concern for public health and a sustainable future. It is urgent to purify wastewater with effective methods to ensure a clean water supply. Most wastewater remediation techniques rely heavily on functional materials, and cost-effective materials are thus highly favorable. Of great environmental and economic significance, developing waste-derived materials for wastewater remediation has undergone explosive growth recently. Herein, the applications of waste (e.g., biowastes, electronic wastes, and industrial wastes)-derived materials for wastewater purification are comprehensively reviewed. Sophisticated strategies for turning wastes into functional materials are firstly summarized, including pyrolysis and combustion, hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel method, co-precipitation, and ball milling. Moreover, critical experimental parameters within different design strategies are discussed. Afterward, recent applications of waste-derived functional materials in adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, electrochemical treatment, and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are analyzed. We mainly focus on the development of efficient functional materials via regulating the internal and external characteristics of waste-derived materials, and the material's property-performance correlation is also emphasized. Finally, the key future perspectives in the field of waste-derived materials-driven water remediation are highlighted.

Abstract
The resources of clean water worldwide are very limited, and climate change is already affecting the available supplies. Therefore, developing a low-cost, highly efficient, and recyclable adsorbent to upgrade water quality has become an essential task. Herein, we report the fabrication of activated carbon (AC) adsorbents derived from lignocellulosic wastes. Both physical and chemical activation were investigated to modify the surface texture properties. The results indicated that increasing the activation temperature, whether physically or chemically, increases the specific surface area (SBET). On the contrary, increasing the amount of the chemical activating agent significantly decreases the SBET values. The SBET of 1771, 2120, and 2490 m2 g-1 were obtained for water vapor, K2CO3 and KOH, at activation temperatures of 950 °C, 800 °C, and 800 °C, respectively. Methylene blue (MB) and phenol were used as adsorbates for the adsorption experiment. Adsorption of methylene blue dye revealed the ability of the water activated carbon to remove more than 95% of the dye (100 ppm) within 5 min with an adsorption capacity of 148.8 mg g-1. For phenol adsorption, Several parameters were investigated, including initial concentration (50-250 ppm), pH (2-10), contact time (5-60 min), and temperature (25-45 °C). The highest adsorption capacity of phenol achieved was 158.9 mg g-1. The kinetics of adsorption of phenol was better described by pseudo-second-order reaction while the isotherm process using Langmuir model. This study presents a roadmap for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass waste into highly efficient porous carbon adsorbents.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbons with a rich pore structure were prepared via direct carbonization of the poly(ionic liquid) (PIL)/potassium ferricyanide compound. Thereinto, the bisvinylimidazolium-based PIL was a desirable carbon source, and potassium ferricyanide as a multifunctional Fe-based template, could not only serve as the pore-forming agent, including metallic components (Fe and Fe3C), potassium ions (etching carbon framework during carbonization), and gas generated during the pyrolysis process, but also introduce the N atoms to porous carbons, which were in favor of CO2 capture. Moreover, the hierarchically porous carbon NDPC-1-800 (NDPC, nitrogen-doped porous carbon) had taken advantage of the highest specific surface area, exhibiting an excellent CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity compared with NDC-800 (NDC, nitrogen-doped carbon) directly carbonized from the pure PIL. Furthermore, its hierarchical porous architectures played an important part in the process of CO2 capture, which was described briefly as follows: the synergistic effect of mesopores and micropores could accelerate the CO2 molecules' transportation and storage. Meanwhile, the appropriate microporous size distribution of NDPC-1-800 was conducive to enhancing CO2/N2 selectivity. This study was intended to open up a new pathway for designing N-doped porous carbons combining both PILs and the multifunctional Fe-based template potassium ferricyanide with wonderful gas adsorption and separation performance.

Abstract
This study aimed to produce activated biochars (BCs) from Moroccan algae residue (AG) and olive pomace (OP) using mechanochemical activation with NaOH and ball milling (BM) for treating artificial textile wastewater containing methylene blue (MeB). The produced OP-activated BC by BM showed the highest absolute value of ζ-potential (-59.7 mV) and high removal efficiency of MeB compared to other activated BCs. The nonlinear pseudo-first-order kinetic model was the most suitable model to describe the kinetics of adsorption of MeB onto biochars produced from AG and the NaOH-activated BC from OP, whereas the nonlinear pseudo-second-order kinetic model suits the OP raw biochar and BM-activated BC. The nonlinear Langmuir isotherm model was the most suitable model for describing MeB adsorption onto BCs, compared to the nonlinear Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities of AG-activated BCs with NaOH and BM were 13.1 and 9.1 mg/g, respectively, while those of OP-activated BCs were 2.6 and 31.8 mg/g, respectively. The thermodynamic study indicates the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process of most activated BCs. In addition, ΔS° values indicate the increase of randomness at the solid-liquid interface during MeB sorption onto BC.

Abstract
With the development of industry, the discharge of wastewater containing mercury ions posed a serious threat to human health. Using biomass waste as an adsorbent to treat wastewater containing mercury ions was a better way due to its positive impacts on the environment and resource saving. In this research, activated carbon (AC) was prepared from rice husk (RH) by the KOH chemical activation method. The characterization results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that rice husk-activated carbon (RHAC) had good pore structure and oxygen-containing functional groups. The influences of contact time, initial concentration of Hg(II), adsorbent dosage, pH, and ionic strength on mercury ion removal were investigated. The Langmuir model was most suitable for the adsorption isotherm of RHAC, and its maximum adsorption capacity for Hg(II) was 55.87 mg/g. RHAC still had a high removal capacity for Hg(II) after five regeneration cycles. RHAC had excellent removal efficiency for mercury ion wastewater. At the same time, RH could be used as a nonpolluting and outstanding characteristic adsorbent material.
