Fly ash: An alternative to powdered activated carbon for the removal of eosin dye from aqueous solutions

This paper reports the use of powdered activated carbon (PAC) and raw coal fly ash (RFA) in the removal of eosin dye from aqueous solution in batch processes. Operational parameters such as contact time, initial dye concentration, pH and temperature were investigated. Adsorption equilibrium was esta...
