Data that support the use of agro-industrial residues from orange peel and sugarcane bagasse for the production of carbonaceous structures and their application in the removal of metal ions.

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 d
