Activated carbon developed from orange peels: Batch and dynamic competitive adsorption of basic dyes

Activated carbon from orange (Citrus sinensis) peel was developed through H3PO4 acid activation. Its ability as an adsorbent for the removal of two representative basic dyes (methylene blue and rhodamine B) from single and binary dyes solutions in batch and continuous modes was examined. The orange...
