Removal of Acidic Pollutants from Water Using Activated Charcoal Obtained From Mango Flowers
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 7
Abstract
Huge amount of water pollutants are being released from the industries which is largely affecting the quality of water. Acids are found to be one of the most common water pollutants causing an adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem and in turn bringing a negative impact on the health of human population. Hence there is a need to overcome the harmful effects by their removal from our water bodies. As these acids are water soluble and colorless we used a simple cost effective technique to separate these pollutants from water and at the same time to determine their concentration. The present analysis is aimed at the removal of acidic pollutants using the activated charcoal prepared from Mango Flowers. The method of determination of concentration of these acids is through simple volumetric analysis. The activated charcoal obtained from the Mango flowers is found to be a low-cost and effective biosorbent. The adsorption isotherms were verified by the experimental data at 250C.
