Sustainable Biochar Carbon Microparticles Based on Mangosteen Peel as Biosorbent for Dye Removal: Theoretical Review, Modelling, and Adsorption Isotherm Characteristics

TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed the adsorption characteristics of sustainable carbon microparticles based on mangosteen peel for dye removal and showed that small-sized carbon does not provide enough active sites (such as the absence of a pore structure on the surface) for the adsorbate, leading to the creation of a monolayer during adsorization.
