Abstract:The use of activated carbon produced from the husk of Pará nuts, Bertholletia excelsa, as an ecological and low-cost alternative for the adsorption of reactive orange 16 dye (RO-16) was used. The adsorbent material, CA-700325, was synthesized by carbonizing the biomass of Brazil nuts at 700 ºC for 2h in order to obtain activated carbon with high adsorptive capacity. The superficial characterization was performed by FTIR and BET. Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms were used to describe the adsorption equ… Show more
