Removal of Red Acid Dye from Synthetic Wastewater by Adsorption onto Low-Cost Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

Low-cost adsorbent which was burned rice husk was used in this study. The burned rice was tested with a series of packed bed in plastic bottle. The flow rate was controlled at 0.1 ml/s for all the experiment. Thomas model was used to predict the breakthrough time and all experiments were carried out at room temperature. The results indicated that the burned rice husk has a potential to be low-cost adsorbent for removal of red acid dye
