Methyl red removal using activated carbon derived from orange peels as an adsorbent

Dye effluents are one of the major concerning problems in wastewater. The operating costs for wastewater treatment are quite high. Therefore, many researchers have identified capability of agricultural wastes as adsorbents to remove many types of pollutants including dyes. This study represents the use of orange peel in removing methyl red dyes and also makes a simple comparison between raw orange peel and activated carbon derived from orange...
