Abstract | ||||
Activated carbon derived from mango seed was prepared and tested as a potential raw material for local activated carbon production. Chemical activation by impregnation using 65% phosphoric acid was followed by thermal treatment at 550°C. The activated carbon was investigated to find the suitability of its application for removal of heavy metal such as Fe (II), Mn (II) and Zn (II) from the synthetic wastewater. The effects of various parameters such as adsorbent dose, solution pH, contact time, and initial metal ion concentration on adsorption efficiency were studied during batch experiment. The adsorption mechanism was studied in terms of Friendlish and Langumier isotherm. | ||||
