Synthesis of Hydrotalcite-Like Material and its Complexes with Activated Carbon for Colour Removal

Hydrotalcite-like material and its complexes with activated carbon were prepared using activated carbon bought from a local manufacturer. The resulting material and its precursor were used as an adsorbent for removal of colour from natural peat water. The colour change of natural peat water was u...
