REMOVAL OF IRON FROM SYNTHETIC SOLUTION USING SUGARCANE BAGGAGE AND BARK OF PIPAL

The removal of iron from aqueous solution of different concentration by using Carbonized organic material of sugarcane baggage and bark of pipal. The utility of sugarcane baggage as an adsorbent for metal ions such as iron from acid mine water was assessed. It is found that the adsorption potential varies as a function of iron concentration. Over 99% Fe [3+], 98% of Fe [2+] uptake was achieved from acid mine water, with a concomitant increase in the pH value by two units using sugarcane baggage. Carbonized organic material of sugarcane baggage adsorbent is found to possess 77-95% iron removal efficiency.
