Biosorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution by coconut (Cocos nucifera) shell-derived activated carbon-chitosan composite
Charcoal produced from coconut shells through the retort method was consequently activated using CaCl2. The activated carbon-chitosan composite was prepared by coating the activated carbon with chitosan. Batch experiments with methylene blue as adsorbate were conducted under varying pH, contact time...
