Nickel(II) Ion Adsorption onto Activated Carbon. Relationship between Physicochemical Properties and Adsorption Capacity by Paola Rodríguez-Estupiñán, Liliana Giraldo, Juan Carlos Moreno-Piraján

“…In addition, some chemical characteristics such as the pH of the point of zero charge, the total acidity and basicity were examined, while immersion calorimetric studies in water were undertaken. The experimental results showed that the quantity of nickel(II) ions adsorbed onto the various GAC samples followed the order: GACox < GAC < GACox 450 < GACox 750 > GAC 900, indicating that the adsorption capacity depended largely on the surface acidity of the solid samples.…”
