Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamic studies: adsorption of Remazol Black 5 on the palm kernel shell activated carbon (PKS-AC)

The removal of Remazol Black 5 from the synthetic wastewater using palm kernel shell activated carbon was investigated in terms of initial pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature. The optimum pH was found at acidic range, pH 2. For equilibrium studies, two isotherm models were used i...
