Study on preparation of activated carbons by chemical activation with NaOH using the impregnatio ratio of 3:1 (NaOH:char) from Macadamia nut shell in terms on temperature and time. The research result showed that Methylene Blue (MB) absorption at optimum temperature and time of 300oC and 90 minutes was 205,68 mg and the removal efficiency was 97,59% corresponding to the color reduction from 349,67 Pt-Co to 8,4 Pt-Co. This results showed that activated carbons prepared from Maccadia nut shells and chemical activation with NaOH had the capable of color treatment in textile wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
