Usefulness of activated carbon prepared from agro waste in the removal of dyes from aqueous solution
In this study activated carbon from corncob, an agro waste was used as an adsorbent for removal of malachite green and methyl violet from aqueous solutions. Parameters, such as adsorbent dosage, concentration of the dye, contact time and temperature were optimized with regard to the dye removal using the selected adsorbent.
