Activated carbon from coconut frond as adsorbent for removal of kongo red
The aim of this study is to investigate the potential use of activated carbon from coconut frond (CFAC) as an adsorbent for the removal of congo red (CR) dye from aqueous solution. The effect of various operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 3.0 and 4.0 g), initial...
