Abstract

The applicability of activated carbon beads (ACBs) derived from Litsea glutionosa seeds for removal of methylene blue (MB) dye and ion nickel (Ni(II)) from aqueous solution using the adsorption process has been investigated. Optimization of process parameters such as adsorbent dosage, pH, temperature, contact time was studied. For batch adsorption studies at temperature 35oC and contact time 10 hours, adsorbent dosage of 6 g/L were found to be an optimal condition for MB adsorption at pH=8 and for ion Ni(II) removal, adsorbent dosage of 8 g/L were obtained to be optimum condition pH=5. Application of ACBs for MB as well as ion Ni(II) treatment from textile and plating wastewater has been already underway and the removal efficiency can be reached more than 80%.
