Adsorption of Acid Fuchsin and Fast Green on Activated Carbons

Activated carbons produced from palm oil shell with H3PO4 activation (AC 34) and physical activation (AC 00) were used to adsorb dye solutions, namely Acid Fuchsin and Fast Green. The precursors were carbonized under an inert nitrogen atmosphere for three hours followed by carbon dioxide gas activat...

The contact time, adsorbent dosage, adsorbate concentration, temperature and pH of the adsorbate that affecting the adsorption process were also studied.
