Abstract(s)
Crude glycerol, obtained from the biodiesel production, is actually an abundant and low-cost
feedstock, making the preparation of carbonaceous materials by partial carbonization and
sulfonation of this by-product an interesting research focus. Bearing this in mind, the aim of this
study is to explore several types of glycerol-based carbon materials synthesized by partial
carbonization of glycerol in concentrated sulphuric acid solution for the removal of flumequine
and tetracycline from aqueous solutions.
This study is focused on the synthesis and application of glycerol-based carbon materials as
adsorbents for the removal of the antibiotic compounds flumequine and tetracycline from aqueous
solution. The different synthesized materials were labelled as GBCM followed by a subscript
number corresponding to the activation temperature in oC (i.e., GBCM200, GBCM300, and
GBCM350)
