Adsorption of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution by Leucaena leucocephala seed pod activated carbon: equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies

This study is initiated to launch an activated carbon derived from Leucaena leucocephala seed pod as an adsorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution. The prepared activated carbon was characterized by proximate analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurement...
