Twigs-derived activated carbons via H3PO4/ZnCl2 composite activation for methylene blue and congo red dyes removal

This work is aimed at evaluating the conversion of Pterocarpus indicus twigs into activated carbon via composite chemical activation for methylene blue and congo red dyes adsorption. The activated carbons were prepared by single-step chemical activation using zinc chloride and/or phosphoric acid at...
