Activated Carbon From Longan Seed And Pistachios Shell Prepared Via Microwave Irradiated For Dye Removal

Potential of agrowastes were harnesses for preparation of activated carbon (AC) for dyes removal from aqueous solution. In this study, longan seed based activated carbon (LSAC) and pistachios shell based activated carbon (PSAC) were prepared using physiochemical activation consisting of potassium hy...
