Abstract
This paper presents evaluation of the feasibility of using palm nut shell activated carbon from one-way thermochemical pyrolysis and its adsorption properties for removal of industrial dye stuffs from waste water. The relationship between the ordinary (kf), maximum (qm) and theoretical saturation capacities (qD) were also investigated to follow the order; qm > qD > kf. H3PO4 catalyzed sorbent dwell at a longer activation time. SS/A/15 -presented a higher adsorption capacities (qm=6.024 mgg- 1, qD=4.189 mgg-1 and kf=0.628) and higher sorption intensity (1/n=0.714), than the other 3 series. The high % dye removal (%RE up to 84.80%) adsorption normalcy (1/n<1 and RL<1) and good applicability (R2>0.869) are critical for considering palm nut shells as precursor for generating low cost active bio-sorbents.
