Breakthrough Curve Analysis for Fixed-Bed Adsorption of Azo Dyes Using Novel Pine Cone—Derived Active Carbon

A novel activated carbon has been produced from pine cone, a sustainable resource, by phosphoric activation at 900 °C. The BET surface area of the activated carbon was 869 m 2 /g and the methylene blue isotherm area was 734 m 2 /g. The adsorption of two single-component acid azo dyes, Acid Blue 113...
