A NOVEL APPROACH FOR WATER TREATMENT BY USING ACTIVATED CARBON:APRICOT KERNEL SHELL

Abstract

The rapid growth of industry with increasing environmental pollution and abnormal climate changes caused by global warming leading to reduce water resources. It has encouraged strengthening the science and research to protect and clean drinking water resources since the last 40 years. As a result, many different technologies and researches such as biological treatment and oxidation techniques related to water treatment are being carried out. In this study, the color removal of water containing methylene blue (MB) by using activated carbon was performed. The activated carbon, which was obtained from the apricot kernel shell, has one of the world's highest surface areas. As a result of the analysis with UV-Vis spectrophotometer, approximately 95% dye removal was obtained within the first half hour. We have also observed that the apricot kernel activated shell gives much better results when we compare the color removal results obtained using TiO2 nanoparticles under UV light. It can be concluded that our country, which is the first in the world for apricot production, can supply the apricot kernel shell with a very low cost can have a great potential to treat water which is one of the most important problems of our lives.
