Response surface methodology approach for optimization of color removal and COD reduction of methylene blue using microwave-induced NaOH activated carbon from biomass waste
Coconut leaves (Cocos nucifera. L) biomass waste were utilized for the preparation of activated carbon by microwave-induced NaOH activation. The surface characteristics of the coconut leaves activated carbon (CLs-AC) were determined by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectro...
