Highlights
The effluents from textile industries are important sources of dye pollution
This work was the study of adsorption behaviours of three dye solution using commercial activated carbon prepared from copper pod flower
The results indicate that copper pod flower could be employed as a low cost alternative to commercial activated carbon for the removal of colour and dyes from aqueous solution
Summary
The effluents from textile industries are important sources of dye pollution. Many dyes and their products may be toxic for living organisms [1]. This work was the study of adsorption behaviours of three dye solution (methylene blue, malachite green & methyl violet) using commercial activated carbon prepared from copper pod flower. Effect of initial pH:The effect of pH on the adsorption of methylene blue, malachite green and Methyl violet dyes onto copper pod flower was studied at a pH range of 2 to 10 in the presence of different initial dye concentrations (10-50 mg.L-1).
