Modification of activated carbon via grafting polyethyleneimine to remove amaranth from water

Abstract A new adsorbent was fabricated via grafting polyethyleneimine (PEI) on activated carbon (AC) to remove anionic amaranth from water. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the grafting process of PEI. The adsorption behavior of...
