Adsorption of Volatile Carboxylic Acids on Activated Carbon Synthesized from Watermelon Shells

Because of the high energy costs involved in using the MixAlco process in the separation of fermentation water, it is necessary to implement a separation method in which the absorbates can be adsorbed onto activated carbon (AC). For this purpose, in this study, we synthesized AC from watermelon shel...
