Abstract

In this research, activity of fly ash was improved towards phosphate removal by giving treatment of sulphuric acid. Obtained improved fly ash was useful for the phosphate removal from water effluent up to 99 %. Important and required parameter like contact time was varied from zero to 60 min, adsorbent dose from 5gm /l to 30 gm /l and initial phosphate concentration was changes from 50 ppm to 80 ppm. After completing all the experimental work 20 min contact time, improved fly ash dose of 15 gm/l and 60 ppm initial concentration emerged as an optimum and desired conditions for the phosphate removal up to 99 %. Temperature of 30 o c, 8 pH and sufficient stirring was more favourable for above optimum condition. Improved fly ash as an adsorbent worked well and removed more quantity of phosphate from taken water effluent.
