Coffee Husk-Derived Activated Carbon for the Adsorptive Removal of Imatinib Mesylate from Water: Kinetic, Isotherm, Thermodynamic, and DFT Studies
Coffee husk-derived activated carbon prepared by H3PO4 chemical activation was investigated for the removal of imatinib mesylate from aqueous solutions. Structural and chemical characterization using N2 physisorption, SEM, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis revealed a porous carbon matrix containi...
