The sorptive removal of phosphate ions in wastewater from an advanced multipurpose chemistry laboratory was carried out using two activated carbon adsorbents of particle size 150 µm (CIG150) and 300 µm (CIG300) prepared from seed shells of Irvingia gabonensis and a commercial activated carbon (CAC). The physicochemical attributes of CIG150, CIG300 and CAC were found to be .........................
