Batch adsorption of toxic Cr(VI) ion from an aqueous solution using lumbang (Aleurites moluccana) activated carbon-chitosan composite crosslinked with epichlorohydrin as an adsorbent was investigated. The adsorption experiments were performed at varying pH, agitation time, initial Cr(VI) ion concent...
