TiO2-coated granular activated carbon was employed for the removal of toxic microcystin-LR from water. High surface area of the activated carbon provided sites for the adsorption of microcystin-LR, and the adsorbed microcystin-LR migrated continuously onto the surface of TiO2 particles which located mainly at the exterior surface in the vicinity of the entrances of the macropores of the activated carbon. The migrated microcystin-LR was finally degraded into nontoxic products and CO2 very quickly. These combined roles of the activated carbon and TiO2 showed a synergistic effect on the efficient degradation of toxic microcystin-LR. A continuous flow fluidized bed reactor with the TiO2-coated activated carbon could successfully be employed for the efficient photocatalytic of microcystin-LR.

Selection of suitable activation agent is important in order to produce high surface area of activated carbon. The present study was undertaken to develop high surface area of durian shell activated carbon (DSAC) using different chemical activation agents which were potassium hydroxide (KOH) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Surface porosity and surface area were directly measured from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface area analyzer, respectively. For the optimum condition, it showed that H3PO4 treated DSAC had the highest surface area which was 257.50 m2/g compared to KOH treated DSAC which was 13.10 m2/g. H3PO4 treated DSAC also showed the highest micropore surface area, external surface area and total pore volume with 191.22 m2/g, 66.28 m2/g and 0.149 cm3/g, respectively. SEM result showed that H3PO4 treated DSAC had a well pronounce porosity than durian shell char. Surface area and surface porosity were important in an adsorption process.

Activated carbon was prepared from molasses, which are natural precursors of vegetable origin resulting from the sugar industry. A simple elaboration process, based on chemical activation with phosphoric acid, was proposed. The final product, prepared by activation of molasses/phosphoric acid mixture in air at 500°C, presented high surface area (more than 1400 m2/g) and important maximum adsorption capacity for methylene blue (625 mg/g) and iodine (1660 mg/g). The activated carbon (MP2(500)) showed a good potential for the adsorption of Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The affinity for the three ions was observed in the following order Cu2+ Cr6+ Pb2+. The process is governed by monolayer adsorption following the Langmuir model, with a correlation coefficient close to unity.
