Novel aluminium (hydr) oxide-functionalized activated carbon derived from Raffia palm (Raphia hookeri) shells: Augmentation of its adsorptive properties for efficient fluoride uptake in aqueous media

In this study a novel activated carbon derived from Raffia palm shells was synthesized firstly by activating the precursor with phosphoric acid to produce Raffia Palm Shell Activated Carbon (RPSAC) and further functionalized by coating its surface with aluminium hydroxide to produce a composite call...
