Abstract
Activated carbon produced from agricultural waste, namely tapioca peel, was used for the adsorption of reactive dye Turquoise Blue H5G from its aqueous solutions. The preparation of activated carbon from agricultural waste would increase economic returns and reduce pollution. In this project, adsorption studies were performed by varying parameters such as dye concentration, pH of the dye solution and contact time. The equilibrium adsorption data obtained were used to calculate the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm parameters. The study investigates the removal of Turquoise Blue H5G dye from its aqueous solution. Higher adsorption percentages were observed at lower concentrations of Turquoise Blue H5G. Optimum pH value for dye adsorption was determined as 7. Maximum dye was removed within 120 min from the start of every experiment.
