Preparation and characterizations of activated carbon from kenaf fiber for equilibrium adsorption studies of copper from wastewater
The potential of activated carbon prepared from kenaf fiber (KF) to remove copper (II) from aqueous effluents was investigated. The fibers were first semi-carbonized, then impregnated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and finally activated by using carbon dioxide (CO 2) gas to produce activated carbon....
