Activated carbon (AC) has been prevalently used in dye effluent treatment. Nonetheless, the large-scale utilization of AC is normally restricted by its production cost and time-consuming synthesis procedures (carbonization, activation, washing etc.). This study presents a new adsorbent was successfu...
