Hexavalent Chromium Adsorption by a Novel Activated Carbon Prepared by Microwave Activation

Microwave heating reduces the preparation time and improves the adsorption quality of activated carbon. In this study, activated carbon was prepared by impregnation of palm kernel fiber with phosphoric acid followed by microwave activation. Three different types of activated carbon were prepared, ha...
