Optimization of Preparation Conditions of Novel Adsorbent from Sugar Scum Using Response Surface Methodology for Removal of Methylene Blue

A novel and inexpensive adsorbent was prepared from sugar scum for the removal of methylene blue as an organic pollutant from aqueous solutions. The response surface methodology was used to study the effects of the calcination temperature and time on the yield and the methylene blue adsorption. In o...
