Abstract

This document contains additional information for the production of activated carbons (AC) and carbon foams (CF) from agroindustrial wastes, orange peel (OP) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB). In particular, a set of data is presented for the characterization of carbonaceous structures (AC and CF) and their application in the removal of metallic ions contained in polluted waters. The adsorbent materials were obtained combining chemical and physical activation processes. Data presented here included characterization of AC and CF using dynamic light scattering (DLS), BET (Brunauer, Emmet and Teller) surface area analysis, Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method to assess pore size distribution and zeta potential (ζ) to evaluate electrokinetic potential of carbonaceous structures. In addition, energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) to identify heavy metals on the surface of carbonaceous materials is shown and complementary adsorption capacity data for metal ion removal are presented in the paper. The data can be used as a reference to promote reuse of agroindustrial wastes and provide added value; particularly for the synthesis of carbonaceous structures applied to the water purification.
