ADSORPTION STUDY ON REMOVAL OF BASIC DYE BY MODIFIED COCONUT SHELL ADSORBENT

Adsorption process are most widely used treatment methods to remove certain pollutants from water and wastewater. The biological treatment processes and adsorption are together commonly used for treatment of dye effluent. Although many commercial adsorbents are preferred, the researchers go in search of alternative lowcost adsorbents. In this study, application of Coconut shell which has been modified to remove Brilliant Green dye (BG) has been investigated. Adsorption of dye was effective with this adsorbent and removal percentage depends on dye molecules in wastewater.
