| Abstract | Preparation of activated carbon is carried out from an abundant and very cheap waste by-product from wastewater treatment plant: sewage sludge. The first step of preparation consists in a carbonization process under a 10 mL min− 1 nitrogen flow, at 600∘C during 1 hour. The second step is a physical activation, performed with carbon dioxide. The experimental conditions of the activation were optimized using experimental design methodology. Three factors were studied: activation temperature (from 700 to 900∘C), activation duration (from 30 to 120 min) and CO2 flow rate (from 0.7 to 2.9 L min− 1). The porous carbonaceous materials were characterized in terms of physico-chemical and structural properties (specific surface area, pore volumes, surface pH, surface functional groups) and adsorption properties in aqueous and gaseous phase, these characteristics constituting the responses of the experimental design. A surface response methodology enabled to define optimum values for the 3 factors (at 900∘C during 30 min for a CO2 flow rate of 2.9 L min− 1) which involve an adsorbent with a specific surface area of 260 m2 g− 1 and a pore size distribution comprising meso and micropores. Adsorption capacities of organic pollutants (phenol, dyes, VOC) are proportional to the specific surface area, apart from copper adsorption capacities (up to 80 mg g− 1) due to an ion-exchange mechanism with Ca2 + ions present in the raw material. In order to decrease the high ash content in the produced material (51 wt.%) and thus to improve the pore development, carbonized sludge were washed with an acid (HCl, 3 M) at room temperature before the activation step. This oxidation pre-treatment allowed to reach a 410 m2 g− 1 specific surface area with an ash content of 26.4 wt.%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
