In the present work, a cost-effective Indian jujube seeds derived activated carbon (IJSAC) prepared via o-phosphoric acid chemical activation, is studied for the sequestration of acriflavine (AF) and Victoria blue B (VB) from the aquatic environment. The activated carbon is characterized by Fourier...
