Preparation of Copper-Decorated Activated Carbon Derived from Platamus occidentalis Tree Fiber for Antimicrobial Applications

Thembisile Mahlangu et al.

Summary: This study focuses on a greener approach to synthesizing activated carbon by carbonizing Platamus occidentalis tree fibers (TFSA) and using them as an effective adsorbent for copper ions in aqueous media. The copper decorated TFSA (Cu@TFSA) demonstrated outstanding antimicrobial activity against E. coli and Salmonella, making it a potential candidate for use in water and wastewater treatment.

Preparation and properties of novel activated carbon doped with aluminum oxide and silver for water treatment

Rashad Al-Gaashani et al.

Summary: The novel activated carbon composite materials doped with aluminum oxide and silver nanoparticles were prepared and used for adsorptive removal of molybdenum and arsenic from contaminated water. The materials showed high removal rates for both pollutants due to electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange adsorption mechanisms. Additionally, the composite materials exhibited notable antibacterial properties against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
