This study was conducted to investigate the batch and fixed-bed adsorption properties of boron on curcumin-impregnated activated carbon (Cur-AC). The maximum boron removal was obtained at pH5.5 and 120 min of contact time. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied and it was determined th...
