Abstract
Low cost activated carbon was produced from available consumed black tea with microwavetechnique and employed as an effective adsorbent for removal of benzene (Bz) and toluene (T) fromwater. The resulted activated carbon was characterized by utilizing dye (methylene blue (MB) andmethyl violet (MV)) adsorption procedures and several techniques such as Fourier transform Infrared(FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Rays diffraction (XRD). Commercial activatedcarbon and filter sand as individual and blend samples were also subjected to adsorption of MB, MV,Bz, and T. All obtained results were tabulated and discussed after qualitative and quantitativedeterminations by applying ultraviolet- visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS) for MB and MV dyes, and gaschromatography (GC) instrumentations for Bz and T.
