Review

“This book provides a critical analysis of the potential use of various types of waste materials to produce activated carbon which can be used for the removal of dyes from a variety of solutions. This information can be used by practitioners and entrepreneurs to design, develop and use prototype treatment systems for the removal of dyes.  At present, all nations need to create a sustainable civilization, where waste materials are regarded as resources to produce value-added materials which can be used for various applications. This book addresses this issue by providing useful information of converting various types of bio-waste materials to produce activated carbon which has the potential to be used as an adsorbent for the treatment of various types of effluent streams containing both organic and inorganic pollutants.” – Dr. Abdul Jabbar Chaudhary, Department of Life Sciences, Brunel University, London
