This study aims to characterize activated carbon derived from palm shells treated with 10% H3PO4 and evaluate its effectiveness as an adsorbent for removing Remazol Brilliant Violet 5R (RBV5R) dye.

The experimental process included preparation, carbonization, chemical activation, characterization, and adsorption studies conducted using a continuous system. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis of the unactivated carbon revealed that the pores were partially obstructed by residual carbonized substances, resulting in narrower pore structures.
