Adsorption of Lead ions onto Activated Carbon derived from Sugarcane bagasse
In this study, activated carbon was developed from sugarcane bagasse and its effectiveness in adsorbing lead (Pb2+) ions from synthetic aqueous solution was examined. Sugarcane bagasse activated carbon (SCBA) was developed in a tube furnace at a temperature of 900 °C, a heating rate of 10 °C/min, re...
