Removal of 2-methylisoborneol from aqueous solution by cattle manure compost (CMC) derived activated carbons

The objective of this study is the synthesis of activated carbon derived from cattle manure compost (CMC) causing environmental problems using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) activation and to examine the suitability and performance of the prepared activated carbon (PAC) in removing 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB)...
