Effect of Organic and Inorganic Acid Pretreatment on Structural Properties of Rice Husk and Adsorption Mechanism of Phenol
Rice husk treated with organic and inorganic acid was tested as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of phenol from artificial wastewater in batch adsorption procedure. The physical and surface properties of the developed adsorbents were characterized using FTIR and SEM. The efficiency of these adso...
