In the present study, newer adsorbents and their potential-carbonaceous adsorbents derived from the whole fruit of Cassia fistula (Golden shower) have been reported for applications in environmental pollution control using natural, renewable biomass as precursor. The potential of different forms of the derived adsorbents produced by thermal and chemical activation was examined for two representative cases, desulfurization of transportation fuels and wastewater treatment. The adsorbents were characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, and SEM techniques that indicate specific characteristics useful as an adsorbent. A successful application in the real industrial wastewater treatment and comparison with well recognized commercial adsorbents clearly highlights the utility of the developed newer adsorbents in separation science and technology.</p>1 aSorokhaibam, Laxmi, Gayatri1 aBhandari, Vinay, M.1 aSalvi, Monal, S.1 aJain, Saijal1 aHadawale, Snehal, D.1 aRanade, Vivek, V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/development-newer-adsorbents-activated-carbons-derived-carbonized-cassia-fistula-0
