Effect of phosphoric acid and temperature profile on pine cone based activated carbon production and its effectiveness in the removal of Congo red dye by adsorption

This study was developed to synthesize a chemically activated carbon from Australian raw pine cone and to evaluate its effectiveness as a low cost adsorbent in the removal of anionic dyes such as Congo red from aqueous solution. Pine cone is a natural and low-cost agricultural by-product. The effect...
