Characterization of activated carbon from waste tea (Camellia sinensis) using chemical activation for removal of methylene blue and cadmium ions
The activated carbon based on waste tea (WT-AC) was prepared using sulfuric acid as an activating agent at different concentrations (5%, 10%, 20%, and 30%). Suitable characteristics as adsorbent have revealed concentration at 30% of waste tea activated carbon (WT-AC4) yield better adsorption, whereb...
