Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) composite were successfully prepared via mechanical mixing and exhibited a crushed snack-like morphology compared to the well-defined pore structure of pure AC. The purpose of this research was to explore the potential of AC/HAp for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye and hydrogen production. Despite the morphological changes, AC and AC/HAp achieved a high MB degradation rate (92.75 and 82.05) % under sunlight, at a temperature of 26.24°C and pH of 4.18, and showed optimum hydrogen production (3579mol/g.h). These performances are suspected from the decrease in crystallite size and narrowed and confirmed by image processing results with RBG enhancement showing more light transmitted by the solution. Increasing in indicates the potential for improved light interaction. IoT-enabled real-time monitoring system demonstrates its efficacy in facilitating wastewater treatment and hydrogen production, offering a promising solution for aquatic ecosystem restoration.
