Abstract

Conversion of putrescible vegetable waste into activated carbon and its utilization for textile waste water treatment

The present study focuses on the conversion of putrescible vegetable waste (PVW) collected from market places to phosphoric acid treated activated carbon (PAC). Physico chemical properties of PAC were studied. SEM EDX, FT IR and XRD revealed that PAC is carbon rich porous activated carbon with various functional groups. BET surface area is about 603.7m2/g showed that PAC could behave as a good adsorbent material. Batch mode adsorption studies were carried out for the waste water treatment. Textile dye effluents were collected at different periods. Water quality parameters was studied and analyzed before and after adsorption process. It revealed that PAC could be employed as an effective low cost adsorbent for textile waste water treatment.
