Adsorption of Reactive Dyes Remazol Red F-3B and Remazol Blue from Aqueous Solution by Coconut Coir Activated Carbon

Activated carbon was prepared from coconut coir and adsorption of reactive dyes Remazol Red F-3B and Remazol Blue by the activated carbon was examined. Batch adsorption test showed that extent of dye adsorption was dependent on dye concentration, contact time, pH and carbon dose. Equilibrium adsorpt...
