The comparative and competitive adsorption of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) in single and binary systems using coconut shell activated carbon (CSAC) was investigated. The CSAC was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ef...
