Activated charcoal prepared from Adansonia Digitata(baobab) pericarp has been used for the removal of methyl red dye from simulated aqueous solutions employing adsorption method. The effect of adsorption was studied by using different parameters such as pH(2-4), contact time(50-200min), initial dye concentration(50-200mg/L) and adsorbent dosage(1-4g). The extent of adsorption was determined by employing uv-vis spectrometer. The experimental data was verified by Freundlich model and found to be satisfactory. Under the experimental conditions the parameters at the maximum adsorption ability have been determined for the dye and reported. Read More
