- Abstract
The textile industry is the key user of dyes and hence the major source of water pollution, which harm aquatic as well as human life. Dead leaves of Conocarpus L. were collected in order to preparethe activated carbon. The first part of the collected leaves was functionalized with nitric acid and the second one was treated with EDTA-Na2. Experiments of adsorption were conducted at lab as a function of pH, contact time and initial dye concentration. The results showed that the maximum removal efficiency of the disperse yellow with a percentage of 94.11% and adsorption per unit mass with a value of 5.64 mg/l by activated carbon functionalized with the nitric acid was found in the acidic medium. The activated carbon that prepared from Conocarpus L. functionalized proved to be a new promised efficient adsorbent for the removal of the disperse yellow from its solutions.
