Microwave Irradiated and Thermally Heated Olive Stone Activated Carbon for Ni…

Abstract: In attempt to compare the removal efficiency and yield of the activated carbon prepared using the conventional and microwave-assisted heating is the focus of this work. Toward this olive stone (a biomass precursor) is activated using the popular activating agent potassium hydroxide. The process optimization exercise is carried out by using the standard full factorial statistical desi…
