A novel study on synthesis of egg shell based activated carbon for degradation of methylene blue via photocatalysis

Egg shell-based activated carbon was successfully synthesized by the simple chemical activation process. Orthophosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide used as an activation agent. XRD pattern reveals the hexagonal structure of activated carbon. The functional group presents in activated carbon was ident...
