Hydrothermally Treated Banana Empty Fruit Bunch Fiber Activated Carbon for Pb(II) and Zn(II) Removal

Activated carbon was produced by chemical activation of hydrothermally carbonized (HTC) banana empty fruit bunch (BEFB), using phosphoric acid (H3PO4) as the activating agent. The activation process was optimized using a Box-Behnken factorial design (BBD), with an outcome of 17 different experiments...
