Comparative studies on adsorptive removal of indole by granular activated carbon and bagasse fly ash

Abstract: In the present article, comparative studies were performed for the adsorptive removal of indole by granular activated carbon (GAC) and bagasse fly ash (BFA) in batch system. Experiments were conducted to study and optimize various operational parameters such as adsorbent dose, contact time, pH, and temperature. BFA was found to work more effectively over wide pH range for indole removal than GAC. Optimum dose and equilibrium time for GAC were found to be 20 g L−1 and 7 h, whereas, respective values for BFA wer… Show more

“…It is widely used in many industries such as perfumeries, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agrochemicals, pesticides, and dyestuffs for various applications. Indole is one of the most toxic and nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds considered as environmental pollutants (e. g., carcinogenic chlorinated aromatic products) [16] …”

“…Due to the acute effect caused by benzene, the benzene removal from the various water bodies is utmost needed to ensure the safety of the environment. Among the available technologies, adsorption offers several advantages such as simple design and operation, lower energy requirement and cheaper operating costs . Activated carbon has been the most widely employed adsorbent for benzene removal process due its high specific surface area and stability .…”
