Effect of impregnation ratio and activation temperature on the yield and adsorption performance of mangrove based activated carbon for methylene blue removal

Mangrove pile leftovers which were found as waste at the construction sites were used as a precursor to prepare activated carbon by adopting phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) as an activating agent. The effects of H₃PO₄ impregnation ratios (3, 4 and 5) and activation temperatures (300, 400 and 500 ​°C) on the...
