Abstract
At the request of Sage and the Journal Editor, the following article has been retracted:
Alcaraz L, López Fernández A, García-Díaz I, et al. Preparation and characterization of activated carbons from winemaking wastes and their adsorption of methylene blue. Adsorption Science & Technology 2018;36(5–6): 1331–1351. doi:10.1177/0263617418770295
Sage was contacted by Dr. Teresa A. Centeno, who stated that she carried out the experiments related to porosity analyses but did not consent to this work being published.
After an institutional investigation, the institution confirmed that the adsorption experiments were carried out in Dr. Centeno's laboratory and using her equipment.
Due to the usage of data without attribution or consent from the researcher, Sage and the Journal Editor retract this article.
The authors did not respond when notified of this retraction.
