Abstract:

This study investigates the potential use of activated carbon prepared from Phragmites Australis for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) and Rhodamine-B (RB) from aqueous solutions. P. Australis activated carbon (PAAC), a new adsorbent, was prepared from P. Australis by H₃PO₄ activation. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of various parameters such as pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and initial 2,4-DCP and RB concentration. Accordingly, the activated carbon developed in this study is effective and practical for utilization in wastewater treatment for 2,4-DCP and RB removal.
