Abstract

In the present paper we have studied the dye removal efficiency for Congo red and Methylene blue dye from the aqueous solution by the phenomenon of adsorption. The low cost agricultural waste Pineapple Peel acid activated carbon (PPAC) prepared at three different temperatures 3000C, 4000C, 5000C were used in the present study. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the effect of various parameters such as different initial concentration of dye, Adsorbent dose and Contact time on the dye removal efficiency of activated carbons from the aqueous solution. The experimental results indicate that percentage dye removal efficiency was the highest for PPAC300 and the lowest in case of PPAC500 with respect to the studied parameters. The PPAC300 activated carbon is more suitable for the removal of synthetic dyes from industrial effluents.
