Adsorption isotherm study on Removal of Triton X 100 from Waste Water Using Agro waste of Nelumbonucifera

  • Arundhati Khandelwal et al.

Abstract

Removal of higher concentration of Triton X 100 from waste water, using carbonized Nelumbonucifera(NS) as an adsorbent bed has been discussed  in the present investigation. Carbonized Nelumbonucifera stem has been prepared in the lab by using muffle furnace at high temperature. Efficiency of removal of Triton X 100 is measured by pH meter using batch technique. Various concentration of  Triton  X 100 solutions from 200ppm, 400ppm, 600ppm, 800ppm and  1000ppm have been prepared and their pH values assessed after adsorption on carbonized NS. Adsorption Isotherms  Langmuir adsorption Isotherms, Freundlich adsorption Isotherms and Temkin adsorption Isotherms  are discussed and compared. R2 values of Freundlich adsorption Isotherms is best fit in an adsorbent bed.
