Preparation and Examination of Activated Carbons from Date Pits Impregnated with Potassium Hydroxide for the Removal of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solutions
The effect of chemical activation on the adsorption capacity of raw date pits towards the basic dye Methylene Blue (MB) was investigated. The raw material was impregnated with 30 wt% KOH solution followed by carbonization at 600°C for 2 h and activation with CO 2 at 800°C for 1 h. The adsorption cap...
