Abstract
The rind of Citrus nobilis is waste biomass material. The raw material was carbonized in the inert gas atmosphere and the resulting carbon was activated with 0.1 N nitric acid. The surface studies were made using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. The results indicate the concentration of surface oxides. The prepared carbon was used for defluoridation. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies indicate that the fluoride is adsorbed on activated carbon.
