Adsorption of methylene blue and ferrous ion from aqueos solution using coconut husk

The adsorption process provides an attractive alternative treatment,especially if the adsorbent is inexpensive and readily available.The biomaterials such as coconut husk are low cost agricultural waste residues and are easily available in large quantity in Malaysia.The ability of coconut husk to re...
