Optimum removal conditions were determined based on the maximum effects of some variable process parameters. The kinetic data showed agreement with the pseudo-second-order model. The isotherm data fit the Langmuir isotherm model best, and the maximum amount of sorbed RB19 was determined as 437.89 mg/g. The calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the process is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Desorption studies were performed with various desorbents for the recovery of RB19 and/or recyclability of CPC. The results show that CPC is a highly effective and reusable sorbent for cleaning water containing RB19.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCitrus PulpActivated CarbonReactive Blue 19 SorptionKineticsEquilibriumApplication of an industrial agricultural waste-based activated carbon in the treatment of water contaminated with Reactive Blue 19 dye: optimization, kinetic, equilibrium and recyclability analysesApplication of an industrial agricultural waste-based activated carbon in the treatment of water contaminated with Reactive Blue 19 dye: optimization, kinetic, equilibrium and recyclability analysesArticle441325652576WOS:0008380300000012-s2.0-8513568883010.1080/01932691.2022.2108047Q2Q4
