Optimisation of activated carbon production from baobab fruit shells by chemical activation with koh for the removal of phenol

Activated carbons (ACs) were produced from baobab fruit shell (BFS) by varying the operating parameters of activation temperatures, activation times, and impregnation ratios using response surface methodology (RSM). Adsorption tests on an aqueous solution of phenol were used to determine the optimu...
