Synthesis of Activated Porous Carbon from Red Dragon Fruit Peel Waste for Highly Active Catalytic Reduction in Toxic Organic Dyes

In this study, an alternative precursor for production of biomass-derived activated carbon was introduced using dragon fruit (<i>Hylocereus costaricensis</i>) peels. Chemical activators such as FeCl<sub>3</sub>, MgCl<sub>2,</sub> ZnCl<sub>2</sub> were...
