Functionalized locust bean pod (Parkia biglobosa) activated carbon for Rhodamine B dye removal

Activated carbon prepared from locust bean husk was modified using ortho-phosphoric acid (ALBP) and used to scavenge Rhodamine B (RhB) dye from aqueous solutions. Characteristic features of the adsorbents were investigated using SEM, FTIR, pHpzc and Boehm Titration (BT) techniques respectively. Batc...
