In this study, the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) from aqueous solutions was performed using coconut shell activated carbon prepared by a two-stage self-generated atmosphere method. Coconut shell was first semi-carbonized at 300 °C for an hour followed by chemical activation with zinc chlor...
