Adsorptive Removal of Reactive Yellow 15 from Aqueous Solution by Coconut Coir Activated Carbon

Activated carbon was prepared from coconut coir and its ability to adsorb Reactive Yellow 15 (RY15) dye examined. Batch adsorption tests showed that the extent of dye adsorption depended on the initial dye concentration, the contact time and the pH value of the solution. Equilibrium adsorption was a...
