Abstract
Industrial waste water poses a serious threat to humans, animals and sustainability of the environment. The study investigated the preparation and characterization of carbonized coconut shell and zeolite adsorbents blend. Data obtained show that the blend has the following properties. Bulk Density (0.63±0.01); Moisture (3.12±0.03); pH (10.23±0.01); Iodine (124.68±0.07). From the study, the bulk density property of the ratio 1:1 blend of zeolite /carbonized coconut shell is higher compare to the others, implying better flow consistency and packaging quality of its material. Overall, the lesser the moisture and higher the ash content of an adsorbent, the more fixed and compact will the adsorbent carbon chains be and the better its adsorption properties.
