Adsorption of methylene blue by using activated carbon from empty fruit bunch and palm press fiber

Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Press Fiber (PPF) are abundance of agricultural wastes.These fiber are basically incinerated and used in mulching purposes.Adsorption of methylene blue by using both of fiber is one way to increase the uses of them.Methylene blue is one of dyestuff that harmful to hu...
