The performance of palm coir pith for methylene blue dye removal in textile wastewater

Textile industry contributes a large amount of wastewater in Malaysia. It is also one of main sources that contribute to the water pollution. Hence, proper studies are needed to investigate the low-cost adsorbents used to remove the dye in textile wastewater. In this study, activated carbon, prepare...
