Abstract
Characterisation and Kinetic Studies on Activated Carbon Derived from Rubber Seed Shell for the Removal of Methylene Blue in Aqueous Solutions
Highlights
Water pollution has become one of the major environmental issues which has hindered development progression and efforts toward sustainability of the economic and societal landscape worldwide
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were acquired for the purpose of characterising the surface of RSS activated carbon (RSSAC)
Various functional groups present on the surface of RSSAC are responsible for favourable uptake of numerous types of molecular species
Summary
Water pollution has become one of the major environmental issues which has hindered development progression and efforts toward sustainability of the economic and societal landscape worldwide It poses adverse effects on broader biological entities especially the aquatic species.[1,2] An exemplary scenario would be the rapid growth of textile industries which generate undesirable amounts of dye pollutants which are dumped irresponsibility as well as illegally into clean water resources. Wastewater produced by these textile industries contains a substantial amount of contaminants including acidic and/or caustic-dissolved solids. A fast, convenient and efficient method for the removal of dyes from wastewater is highly necessary in treating contaminated water to reduce water pollution
