HOW ACTIVATED CARBON IS USED IN WASTE WATER
TREATMENT
2
Activated carbon is used to manufacture
carbonaceous source materials including coconuts,
nutshells, coal, peat, and wood. It has a large
internal surface of 5001500 m2/g, making it
ideal for adsorption. It comes in two variations,
PAC and GAC, and is mostly used in water
treatment.

• Due to its many surfaces and highly porous
  structure, activated carbon is a special
  adsorbent that can be used to extract pollutants
  from wastewater at a low cost.
• In general, activated carbon can be produced from
  a variety of feedstocks containing carbonaceous
  elements, such as plant parts, industrial wastes,
  and agricultural wastes.

• By using various methods such as X-ray
  diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared
  (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
  thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and energy
  dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), the feedstocks,
  a charred sample, and the activated carbon were
  each characterized.
• In this study, activated carbon is examined for
  its ability to adsorb dye molecules and heavy
  metal ions, as well as various isotherms,
  thermodynamic considerations, and kinetic models.
  While the surface of the activated carbons showed
  larger gaps and a rougher texture, the study of
  SEM confirmed the smooth surface of the raw
  materials
