Liquid-phase adsorption of organic materials with activated carbon derived from beer lees
Three activation methods, CO2 activation, steam activation and KOH activation, were used to activate beer lees charcoal manufactured from beer lees discharged by a brewery. Liquid-phase adsorption properties of phenol, methylene blue, 1,2-dichloroethane and 1,2-dichloropropane by the resulting activated charcoal were examined. The amounts of phenol and methylene blue adsorbed were found to increase in the order CO2 activated charcoal
