Banana stem based activated carbon as a low-cost adsorbent for methylene blue removal: Isotherm, kinetics, and reusability

A low-cost activated carbon from the banana stem (ACBS) was produced to contribute to environmental preservation in removing methylene blue from wastewater. It is originated from abundant agricultural waste and produced at moderate pyrolysis temperature and short pyrolisis time. In the ACBS producti...
