Removal of Methylene Blue from Waste Water Using Activated Carbon Prepared from Rice Husk

Abstract: The possible utilization of rice husk activated carbon as an adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions has been investigated. In this study, activated carbons, prepared from low -cost rice husk by sulfuric acid and zinc chloride activation, were used as the adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue, a basic dye, from aqueous solutions. Effects of various experimental parameters, such as adsorbent dosage and particle size, initial dye concentration, pH and flow rate were investiga… Show more

“…To study the effect of initial Fe(II) ions on the adsorption level by varying concentration (10,20,30,40 and 50 mg/L) under the constant temperature (30, 40, 50 and 60 ˚C), pH 6.5 agitation speed (120 rpm) and 0.025 g of adsorbent dose. The removal efficiency by the effect of initial Fe(II) ions concentration was obtained from the experimental results were presented in Table 2.…”
