Adsorption Characteristics of Methylene Blue on Activated Carbon from Rice Husk Ash by Chemical-Thermal Process

Abstract: The production of functional activated carbon (AC) prepared from cheap agricultural biomass combustion residue rice husk ash (RHA) has been utilized as the adsorbent for the removal of Methylene Blue from an aqueous solution was examined in this study. The RHA was subjected to a chemical pretreatment by ZnCl2, followed by carbonization in a muffle. The experimental data were analyzed by the Freundlich models of adsorption. Equilibrium data fitted well with the Freundlich model. The rates of adsorption were fou… Show more

“…Physical activation is conducted by igniting the product under CO 2 or N 2 gas streams [ 32 ], while chemical activation involves treating the material with chemicals such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ), and zinc chloride (ZnCl 2 ). Chemically AC is found to have better properties in terms of good mesoporous structure and large surface area [ 33 , 34 ].…”
