Microporous activated carbon developed from KOH activated biomass waste: surface mechanistic study of methylene blue dye adsorption

In this work, sugarcane bagasse waste (SBW) was used as a lignocellulosic precursor to develop a high-surface-area activated carbon (AC) by thermal treatment of the SBW impregnated with KOH. This SBW activated carbon (SBWAC) was characterized by crystallinity, porosity, surface morphology and functi...
