Pristine activated carbon has been functionalized with mixture of acids (sulphuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid) in 3:2:1 ratio at different exposure time. FTIR and SEM analysis have also revealed that longer exposure time did not help in introduction of oxygen containing functional groups onto the surface of adsorbent rather cut the functionalization due to water cluster formation effect. These acidic groups block the reactive adsorption sites and ultimately reduce the adsorption capacity. © 2016 The Authors. date: 2016 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85013873024&doi=10.1016%2fj.proeng.2016.06.583&partnerID=40&md5=54dd17e83304ef38ec50418721719ebf id_number: 10.1016/j.proeng.2016.06.583 full_text_status: none publication: Procedia Engineering volume: 148 pagerange: 1346-1350 refereed: TRUE issn: 18777058 citation: Anjum, H. and Murugesan, T.
