Abstract
Retraction notice: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ast/2023/9753920/
Adsorption Science & Technology has retracted the article titled “Experimental investigation of activated carbon prepared from apricot stones material (ASM) adsorbent for removal of malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution” [1], due to a high level of similarity identified with a previously published article [2], as confirmed by the editorial board:
Abbas M., Askil, T. “Adsorption of Malachite Green (MG) onto Apricot Stone Activated Carbon (ASAC)-Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies. Journal of Materials, Processes and Environment”. 2017; 5(1): 1-10. https://www.asjp.cerist.dz/en/article/25818
The article is therefore being retracted with the agreement of the editorial board. The author does not agreed to the retraction of this article.
