Adsorptive removal of Bisphenol a from aqueous solution using activated carbon from coffee residue

The present work was aimed to evaluate the performance of low-cost activated carbon from coffee residue for Bisphenol A removal. Coffee residue was activated using phosphoric acid and iron (III) chloride. The resultant activated carbons were characterized for textural properties, surface chemistry a...
