Adsorption of methylene blue on cardboard-based activated carbons treated with zinc chloride and potassium hydroxide

Activated carbons were derived from cardboard by carbonization, ZnCl2 activation and KOH activation. The ZnCl2- activated carbon samples showed a higher removal of methylene blue from water. The ZnCl2-activated carbon prepared at 600℃ (CB-Z_600) showed a greater adsorption amount of 227 mg/g, that w...
