Methyl orange adsorption from aqueous solution by activated carbon: effect of acidic solution treatment

Activated carbon (AC) has been recognised one of the most popular and widely used adsorbent in waste water treatment throughout the world. AC was obtained from carbonaceous raw material, corn cob that normally through some process. The purpose for this study was to synthesize the activated carbon fr...
