Adsorption of basic dye on high-surface-area activated carbon prepared from coconut husk: equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies.

TL;DR: Coconut husk-based activated carbon was shown to be a promising adsorbent for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions and was found to follow closely the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equilibrium and kinetic studies on basic dye adsorption by oil palm fibre activated carbon

TL;DR: In this paper, an abundant agricultural byproduct in Malaysia, was used to prepare activated carbon by physiochemical activation method, and the adsorption capacity was found to increase with increase in the three parameters studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption isotherms, kinetics, thermodynamics and desorption studies of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol on oil palm empty fruit bunch-based activated carbon.

TL;DR: The adsorption characteristics of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol on activated carbon prepared from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) were evaluated and Boyd plot revealed that the advertisersorption of TCP on the activated carbon was mainly governed by particle diffusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption of basic dye using activated carbon prepared from oil palm shell: batch and fixed bed studies

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of activated carbon prepared from oil palm shell to remove methylene blue from aqueous solutions was investigated through batch and column studies, and the equilibrium data were best represented by the Langmuir isotherm model, with maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 243.90 mg/g at 30°C.
