High efficiency adsorption of hexavalent chromium using bioderived activated carbon kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics

Abstract Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), a toxic pollutant in industrial wastewater, poses serious environmental and health risks. This study investigates H₃PO₄-treated palm frond-derived activated carbon (PFTACs) as a low-cost, sustainable adsorbent for Cr6+ removal. PFTACs achieved 99.64% removal effi...
