Optimized removal process and tailored adsorption mechanism of crystal violet and methylene blue dyes by activated carbon derived from mixed orange peel and watermelon rind using microwave-induced ZnCl2 activation
Releasing wastewater containing organic dyes into water bodies generates a variety of hazards for humans and marine life. Thus, developing effective adsorbents to remove organic dyes from wastewater is critical. Herein, a mixture of the orange peel (OP) and watermelon rind (WR) wastes was converted...
