olive
solid wastes were used to produce charcoal materials useful for
reversible adsorption of chromium ions from water. In this report,
attention has been paid to find best methods to activate the olive
solid waste-based charcoal materials. The prepared activated carbon
(AC) materials have then been characterized by their surface
morphology and relative surface areas. Adsorption efficiency of the
resulting materials has been tested using a hazardous water
contaminant, nitrite ion, as a model adsorbate
