Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewaters by adsorption onto activated carbon prepared from an agricultural solid waste
TL;DR: The percent adsorption increased with increase in pH from 2 to 6 and remained constant up to 10 and the resulting carbon is expected to be an economical product for the removal of toxic heavy metals from industrial wastewaters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of lead(II) by adsorption using treated granular activated carbon: batch and column studies.
TL;DR: A deeper understanding of adsorption behavior of Pb(II) from aqueous systems onto activated carbon and treated activated carbon has been attempted via static and column mode studies under various conditions and the Bohart-Adams model has provided an objective framework to the subjective interpretation of the adsorbent system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of various agricultural wastes for activated carbon preparation and application for the removal of dyes and metal ions from aqueous solutions.
TL;DR: Experimental results show all carbons were effective for the removal of pollutants from water and are expected to be economically viable for wastewater treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orange peel as an adsorbent in the removal of acid violet 17 (acid dye) from aqueous solutions
TL;DR: The effectiveness of orange peel in adsorbing Acid violet 17 from aqueous solutions has been studied as a function of agitation time, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by adsorption onto activated carbon.
TL;DR: The adsorption of Cr(VI) was pH dependent and maximum removal was observed in the acidic pH range and was calculated from the Langmuir isotherm.
