Iron impregnated activated carbon as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue: regeneration and kinetics studies.

In this study, iron impregnated activated carbon (FeAC) was synthesized following an oxidation and iron impregnation of activated carbon (AC). Both the AC and FeAC were characterized by pHZPC and FTIR spectroscopy. The removal of Methylene Blue (MB) by AC and FeAC was examined under various experime...
