A novel activated carbon from human hair waste: Synthesis, characterization and utilization thereof as an efficient, reusable Ni (II) adsorbent

In this study, the novel hair based activated carbon (HAC) was synthesized from human scalp hair using calcium chloride as an activating agent and characterized using FTIR, Raman, CHNS, BET, SEM, and XRD analysis methods. The Ni (II) adsorption investigations were performed in batch mode experiments...
