Adsorption of Pb<sup>2+</sup> by Activated Carbon Produced by Microwave-Assisted K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> Activation of Date Palm Leaf Sheath Fibres

Adsorption of Pb<sup>2+</sup> by Activated Carbon Produced by Microwave-Assisted K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> Activation of Date Palm Leaf Sheath Fibres

Date palm trees generate large amounts of various types of waste, including leaf sheath fibres, which can be used as a low-cost precursor for the production of biochar, including activated carbon (AC), which can be employed for the adsorption of contaminants. In the current study, activated carbon w...
