Magnetized palm shell-waste based activated carbon (MPBAC) was prepared using a simple impregnation of magnetite into palm shell-waste based activated carbon (PBAC) and used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. Based on the isotherm results, MPBAC with the smallest partic...
