Abstract
Activated carbon is the ideal adsorbent, to remove coloring matter from the textile industrial effluent. Industrial employer suffers from the disadvantage of high cost and difficult procurement of activated carbon. To fulfill the demands for the preparation of low cost carbon from natural sources. In this direction, we developed a new carbon from cotton seed shells. New adsorbent cotton seed shell’s carbon is characterized by the determination of moisture content, ash content, bulk density, decolorizing power and surface area. The 10 reactive dyes which were used for dyeing purpose in textile industries were collected and screened for adsorption, among 10 dyes yellow, orange and red dyes are found more decolorizing capacity by adsorption process for maximum quantity of 1g of the cotton seed shell carbon. Verification of Beer’s law, Effect of carbon dose, effects of pH, and the effect of equilibration period were investigated.
