Adsorption of methylene blue onto activated carbon developed from biomass waste by H2SO4 activation: kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies
Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) was utilized as an activator for the preparation of activated carbon from a biomass solid waste, coconut leaves. The sulphuric acid-treated activated carbon (SAC) was used as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) cationic dye from aqueous solution. Adsorpti...
