Abstract
An activated carbon derived from textile sludge was synthesized as an initiative of low cost adsorbent for removal of dyes. The surface area of this activated carbon was determined by Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET). From the BET results, it shows a high increment in the BET multi point area for textile sludge-activated carbon as compared to the textile sludge, which is 623.9557 m2/g and 58.9806 m2/g, respectively. The effects of initial adsorbent dosage were studied in the removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) and Methylene Blue (MB) dyes. RB5 and MB dyes solutions were used to represent anionic and cationic dyes respectively. It was concluded that the adsorbent dosage was proportional to the dyes removal for both RB5 and MB with percentage removal up to 99%.
