Mixed fruit Citrullus lanatus and Citrus sinensis wastes for mesoporous activated carbon via microwave assisted H3PO4 activation: Optimization for methylene blue dye removal

Herein, a mixed fruit wastes of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) rind (WR) and orange (Citrus sinensis) peel (OP) were utilized as an alternative precursor for producing a mesoporous activated carbon (WROPAC) with a relatively high specific surface area of 831.4 m2/g. A fast and convenient activation...
