This study explored the adsorption performances of ZnCl 2 , KOH and H 3 PO 4 impregnated activated carbons derived from olive stones for Rhodamine B dye removal from aqueous solutions. The equilibrium time and initial dye concentration were 6 h, and 200 mg L −1 , respectively with ZnCl 2 exhibiting...
