In this study, modification of commercial activated carbon (AC) has been examined for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) from aqueous solutions. The modified process involves impregnation of phosphoric acid at ratios of 0.6–2.4 followed by 500 °C and 700 °C for 2 h. The effect of different...
