Abstract: Industrial activities such as textile, mining, pharmaceutical, agricultural chemicals, battery production and electroplating, have severely led to ecological pollution in recent years without much mitigating measures. This study aimed to provide valuable insights into sustainable water treatment by examining the synthesis process, characterizing the resulting activated carbon, and evaluating its adsorption efficiency. The main objective was to produce activated carbon from waste Aloe vera leaves for application as an adsorbent in wastewater treatment.
