Removal of methylene blue dye and lead ions from aqueous solution using activated carbon from black cumin seeds

This work reports the preparation of carbon from black cumin seeds (BCC) and then activated with 10 and 20 % sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to obtain new adsorbents designated black cumin activated carbon (BCAC-10) and (BCAC-20) respectively for the adsorption of lead (Pb(II)) ions and methylene blue (MB) dy...
