Effect of activation time on the pinang frond based activated carbon for remazol brilliant blue r removal

Activated carbons are regularly used for dye wastewater treatment. They can be produced from various organic materials which have a high level of carbon content. In this study, Pinang frond based activated carbon (PFAC) was produced by using a physical activation process to st...
