Optimization of banana trunk-activated carbon production for methylene blue-contaminated water treatment

Abstract This experiment was run to characterize the banana trunk-activated carbon through methylene blue dye adsorption property. The H3PO4 chemical activating agent was used to produce activated carbons from the banana trunk. A small rotatable central composite design of response surface methodolo...
