Microwave-assisted preparation of almond shell-based activated carbon for methylene blue adsorption

Microwave-assisted preparation of almond shell-based activated carbon for methylene blue adsorption

This study reports the synthesis of a novel adsorbent, hereinafter named almond shell-based activated carbon (ASAC), from waste almond shells (AS) via exposure to microwave radiation and the use of ZnCl2 as a chemical activator. Synthetic conditions were further elaborated using the response surface...
