Many applications have been envisaged for this product, from cork stoppers passing through the incorporation in agglomerates and briquettes to the use as an adsorbent in the treatment of gaseous emissions, waters and wastewaters. This paper aims at reviewing the state of the art on the properties of cork and cork powder and their application in adsorption technologies. Cork biomass has been used on its original form as biosorbent for heavy metals and oils, and is also a precursor of activated carbons for the removal of emerging organic pollutants in water and VOCs in the gas phase. Through this literature review, different potential lines of research not yet explored can be more easily identified.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22534120</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olivella, Maria À</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jové, Patrícia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveras, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The use of cork waste as a biosorbent for persistent organic pollutants–Study of adsorption/desorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adsorption</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aromatic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aromatic: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biosorbent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork waste</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental Remediation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental Remediation: methods</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lipids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lipids: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organic pollutants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PAHs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polycyclic Hydrocarbons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Solid Phase Microextraction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">sorption-desorption</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water Pollutants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">water treatment</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10934529.2011.579845http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21644164</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">824 - 832</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The aim of this study is to determine the sorption-desorption behavior of a mixture of thirteen aqueous PAHs on cork waste at a particle of size 0.25?0.42 mm obtained from the remains of cork strips. The final purpose is to use this natural adsorbent as an alternative to activated carbon in an innovative approach for the removal of this class of toxic compounds, and significantly reduce the regeneration costs of the process. The chemical composition of the selected cork revealed that suberin (38.5 %) and lignin (31.6 %) were the main structural components of the cell wall. The high efficiency of cork as a biosorbent of PAHs is shown by the fact that just over 80 % of adsorption occurred during the first two minutes of contact time. Both Freundlich's and Langmuir's isotherms gave good fits to the sorption process. The highest adsorption affinities were exhibited for pyrene, anthracene, and phenanthrene. Desorption studies indicate a high degree of irreversibility for all PAHs, and especially so in the case of high molecular PAHs. The correlation with KF and low molecular weight PAHs was the most significant. The quantity of cork required to reduce water pollution was estimated to be between 3 and 15 times less than the quantities required in the case of other materials (i.e. aspen wood and leonardite). This study demonstrates for the first time that cork is a potential biosorbent for PAHs and may have relevance in the future treatment of PAH-contaminated waters.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 1 (The use of cork waste as a biosorbent for persistent organic pollutants–Study of adsorption/desorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - Olivella, Maria À; Jové, Patrícia; Oliveras, Anna)From Duplicate 1 (The use of cork waste as a biosorbent for persistent organic pollutants–Study of adsorption/desorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - Olivella, Maria À; Jové, Patrícia; Oliveras, Anna)The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Taylor &amp; Francis&lt;br/&gt;accession-num: 21644164</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lequin, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chassagne, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Karbowiak, Thomas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gougeon, Régis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brachais, Laurent</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bellat, Jean-Pierre</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adsorption equilibria of water vapor on cork.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of agricultural and food chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adsorption</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Bark</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Bark: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thermodynamics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">water</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water: chemistry</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20192215</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">58</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3438 - 45</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We report here for the first time a complete thermodynamic study of water vapor adsorption on crude cork powder and plate. Adsorption-desorption isotherms were accurately measured by thermogravimetry at 283, 298, and 313 K in a large range of relative pressure. Adsorption enthalpies were determined by calorimetry as a function of loading. Adsorption-desorption isotherms exhibit a hysteresis due to the swelling of the material. The influence of the presence of lenticels on the adsorption properties of cork is found to be negligible. A detailed analysis and interpretation of adsorption data allow proposal of an adsorption mechanism in two steps. (i) First, water adsorbs on hydrophilic sites constituted by hydroxyl and methoxyl groups. (ii) Then water adsorption continues by clusters formation around the hydrophilic sites.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;accession-num: 20192215</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gómez-Tamayo, M Del Mar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macías-García, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Díaz Díez, M Angeles</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuerda-Correa, Eduardo M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adsorption of Zn(II) in aqueous solution by activated carbons prepared from evergreen oak (Quercus rotundifolia L.).</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of hazardous materials</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adsorption</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrogen-Ion Concentration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Solutions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water Pollutants, Chemical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water Pollutants, Chemical: chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water Purification</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water Purification: methods</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wood</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zinc</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zinc: chemistry</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">153</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28-36</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In the present work activated carbons have been prepared from evergreen oak wood. Different samples have been prepared varying the concentration of the activating agent (H(3)PO(4)) and the treatment temperature. The yield of the process decreases with increasing phosphoric acid concentrations. Furthermore, high concentrations of activating agent lead to mainly mesoporous activated carbons to the detriment of the microporous texture. Treatment temperatures up to 450 degrees C lead to a progressive increase of the micro- and mesopore volumes. Values of specific surface area (S(BET)) as high as 1723 m(2) g(-1)have been obtained using appropriate phosphoric acid concentrations and treatment temperatures. The samples prepared have been successfully used in the removal of Zn(II) from aqueous solutions. From the adsorption kinetic data it may be stated that the equilibrium time is, in all cases, below 170 h. The adsorption process as a rule becomes faster as the mesopore volume and specific surface area of the samples increase. The adsorption isotherms in liquid phase point out that the adsorption capacity (n(0)(s)) and the affinity towards the solute (K(ci)) are higher for the sample showing the most developed mesoporous texture and surface area as well.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17875366</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pereira, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caldeira Jorge, F.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferreira, J.
