Preparation of a Highly Porous Carbon Material Based on Quinoa Husk and Its Application for Removal of Dyes by Adsorption

A porous carbon material was prepared from quinoa husk (QH) by carbonization and chemical activation with KOH. A series of experiments, including SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared), XRD (X-ray diffraction), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and N2 ads...
