Abstract
A method for making an adsorbent composite can include activating dried lemon peel pieces to obtain activated lemon peel pieces; pyrolyzing the activated lemon peel pieces to obtain activated lemon peel char; dissolving at least one polymer in an organic solvent to obtain a polymer solution; dispersing the activated lemon peel char in the polymer solution to obtain a mixture; extracting the organic solvent from the mixture to obtain a composite; and annealing the composite to provide the adsorbent composite.
