Abstract:Activated charcoal derived from Moringa oleifera, Manihot esculanta, Carica papaya are efficient for waste water treatment and dye removal. Adsorption techniques are used to remove the non-bio degradable pollutants. The produced carbon was exemplified using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Fourier Infrared spectroscopy. The discoloration rate was higher at an optimum pH of 5 for all three samples and at an adsorbent dosage of 0.02g/100ml of effluent and the equilibrium was obtained in 10 minutes. Thus, the ads… Show more
