Assessment of KOH-activated unripe Musa paradisiaca peel for adsorption of copper from aqueous solution

Adsorption of copper ions out of aqueous solution by preparing activated carbon from unripe Musa paradisiaca peel (UmpP) with KOH was investigated. Estimation of the adsorption constants was achieved by adopting the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Results revealed that the adsorption process was fas...
