Abstract
Removal efficiency of chloroform from tap water by rice bran was investigated. The adsorption rate by rice bran was similar to activated carbon. The amount of chloroform adsorbed was plotted against the equilibrium concentration of chloroform in solution on a logarithmic scale. A linear relationship was obtained, indicating that the adsorption reaction was a Freundlich type. The adsorption of chloroform by rice bran was observed in the range of pH 1-11. Chloroform was successfully removed from tap water with average removal efficiency of 70% after 60 min when rice bran was applied to tap water that contained 0.0064 mg/ L chloroform.
