Efficient dye adsorption of mesoporous activated carbon from bamboo parenchyma cells by phosphoric acid activation

Abstract

. The adsorption mechanism of MB on PPAC-30C includes physical adsorption, electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, and the π-π conjugation effect, which was dominated by physical adsorption. The results of this study show that PPAC has good application prospects for cationic dye removal.
