Effect of acidic and alkaline treatments to methylene blue adsorption from aqueous solution by coconut shell activated carbon

In recent years, pollution from dye wastewater becomes a serious environmental problem due to the high demand and the increment of dye application in textile industry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential application of coconut shell activated carbon as methylene blue (M...
