Abstract
, respectively). The equilibrium data of MB adsorption by the composite activated carbon (PAC) was consistent with the Langmuir isotherm, while the adsorption kinetics were better described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. This work reveals the feasibility of LDPE mulch film and waste tobacco straw as potential and inexpensive precursors for preparing high surface area AC adsorbents.
