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%">Pascoal Neto, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocha, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gil, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cordeiro, N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esculcas, a P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocha, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delgadillo, I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Jesus, J.

Waxes and other soluble components of cork begin to decompose at ca. 150 degrees C. This is accompanied by partial decomposition of suberin, probably initiated at the points of attachment to the cell wall. The carbohydrates begin to decompose at ca. 200 degrees C. The decomposition of lignin begins at 250-300 degrees C, while suberin undergoes further degradation. Significant amounts of coke are formed in the process. At 400 degrees C cork has been transformed into coke with traces of partially decomposed suberin. The thermal decomposition of cork is dependent on the calcination time, particularly in the 200-350 degrees C range.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;accession-num: 7773647</style></notes></record></records></xml>
