Removal of Acrylic dye Blue-5G from Aqueous solution by Adsorption on Activated Carbon Prepared from Maize cops

Abstract

The adsorption of acrylic dye Blue-5G (B-5G) from aqueous solution by activated carbon prepared from Maize cops was studied. The activated carbon had been prepared by chemical activation with H3PO4. The adsorption was carried out in batch system. Different experimental parameters like initial pH, contact time, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, stirring rate and temperature on the adsorption of (B-5G) were optimized. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to illustrate the experimental isotherms and isotherm's constants. The pH of dye solution on the range of 8-10 was found favorable for the removal of (B-5G) at equilibrium time (90 min) and adsorbent dose 0.1g with stirring rate (200 rpm).
