	abstract = {<p>In this study, activated carbons were prepared from date palm rachis (RPK) and jujube stones (NJK), by-product agricultural wastes which have been tested for the elimination of reactive dye BEZAKTIV Red S-MAX (BRSM) from aqueous solutions by batch adsorption method. Both activated carbons were prepared using chemical activation by KOH as an impregnating agent (rate of KOH/biomass (w/w) of 0.74) at 800 degrees C in the presence of inert gas (N-2). RPK and NJK were characterized using BET, SEM, FTIR and Boehm titration mass. The results show that RPK possess the higher specific surface area (1160 m(2)/g). The effect of contact time, solution temperature and solution pH on the adsorption of BRSM dye were also studied. The experimental data were analysed using Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model, and the adsorption capacities were calculated to be 12821 and 28.49 mg/g using RPK and NJK, respectively. The kinetic data were fitted to pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, elovich and intra-particle diffusion model. Thermodynamic parameters such as Delta G degrees, Delta H degrees and Delta S degrees were also estimated for the adsorption study and they were found to be spontaneous and endothermic processes. Desorption and regeneration study was made to test the viability of reusing the adsorbents. Lastly, it was found that RPK is efficient in dyes removal from real wastewater.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The purpose of our work is the development of a local agricultural waste biomass material, Ziziphus jujuba known as Nebka (NB), into activated carbons to remove humic acid (HA) from aqueous solutions. This was further treated with nitric acid solutions. The surface characteristics of the adsorbent were calculated using the standard Brunauer-Emmet-Teller method (BET). The microstructures of the samples were observed with scanning electron micrographs. Chemical characterization of the samples was carried out by selective titrations and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). On the basis of the BET results, we have obtained the best microporous activated carbon oxidized (surface area of 970 m(2)/g, microporous volume of 0.170 cm(3)/g and total pore volume of 0326 cm(3)/g). Adsorption studies were conducted using a batch process, to study the effects of contact time, pH and temperature. The pH dependent sorption of HA was found maximum at pH range 4-6 for an initial concentration of 50 mg/L. The equilibrium adsorption data was analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, and the kinetic data was analyzed using pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models. The equilibrium data were well fitted to the Freundlich isotherm. The adsorption reached equilibrium after 300 mm and the maximum adsorption capacity was about 76.92 mg/g at 20 degrees C according to the Langmuir model. The adsorption kinetic was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic study showed that the adsorption of HA onto oxidized activated carbons was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic at 20-40 degrees C.</p>},
