A study to assess the efficiency of coconut husks (CHs) in removing methylene blue (MB) dye from wastewaters in Malaysia was carried out. A fixed bed column adsorber was set up using flow rates of 40 and 80 mL/min, and the adsorbent (CH) was prepared using the base treatment method with NaOH as acti...
