Improved adsorption of the toxic herbicide diuron using activated carbon obtained from residual cassava biomass (manihot esculenta)

The production and consumption of cassava (Manihot esculenta) occur in several places worldwide, producing large volumes of waste, mostly in the form of bark. This study sought to bring a new purpose to this biomass through producing activated carbon to use as an adsorbent to remove the herbicide Di...
