A comparative study on the removal efficiency of metal ions (Cu, Ni, and Pb) using sugarcane bagasse-derived ZnCl-activated carbon by the response surface methodology

In the present article, the optimization of removal of Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , and Pb 2+ using sugarcane-based activated carbon was studied. The activated carbon synthesized from low-cost sugarcane bagasse via ZnCl 2 activation process was found to possess surprisingly high surface area (>1500 m 2 /g). I...
