High surface area mesoporous activated carbon developed from coconut leaf by chemical activation with H3PO4 for adsorption of methylene blue

In this paper, coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) leaves, an agricultural waste, were used as precursors to prepare activated carbon by using H3PO4-activation method. Physical properties of the prepared activated carbon (PAC) were undertaken using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy,...
