Analytical Assessment on The Removal of Phenol From Aqueous Solution Using orange Peel Based Activated – Carbon
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of activated carbon from orange peel in the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions. The effect of many parameters such as concentration, time, adsorbent dose and pH in the adsorption were studied. The values obtained showed that as the concentration of phenol increased in the solution from 10 to 50mg/l the concentration of phenol adsorbed by a constant mass of the adsorbent decreased. Increased in contact time from 25 to 145 minutes, increased the concentration of phenol adsorbed from 1.120.004 to 2.52 0.026mg/l. Varying the adsorbent dosage from 0.5 to 2.5g, the quantity of phenol increased from 1.510.034 to 2.110.004mg/l and decreased to 1.810.003mg/l at an adsorbent dose of 2.5g. Increase in the pH range from 1.26 to 8.79 increased the concentration of phenol adsorbed from 1.380.05 to 2.41 0.004mg/l in pH 1.26 to 3.22. However, this study proves that orange peel activated carbon is a good material for purification of our drinking water from phenol.
