- Abstract
The amounts of adsorption of two commercial dyes, phenol, and 4-chlorophenol from water on activated carbons were measured at 30°C. The carbons were prepared from cane (bagasse) piths and were activated by steam. The activation temperature and time were in the ranges of 750–840°C and 2 h, respectively. It was shown that the isotherm data of all four solutes could be well fitted by the Langmuir equation under the conditions studied. The adsorption capacities of the solutes were correlated with the microporosity properties of the activated carbons including micropore volume and external surface area. Finally, the adsorption characteristics of the present carbons was compared with those prepared from various agricultural wastes.
