PROSOPIS JULIFLORA CARBON AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVATED CARBON IN THE POLLUTANT REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY ....

Commercial Activated Carbon is well-versed in the removal of any pollutant. However, manganese (II) ions were adsorbed on Prosopis Juliflora Carbon (PJC) and compared to Commercial Activated Carbon (CAC) at 301°C in batch mode in this work. The removal data on the fluctuation of I initial manganese (II) ions, (ii) initial pH of the solution, (iii) material amount, and (iv) contact duration are calculated. The percentage removal of manganese (II) ions increased with decreasing initial concentration and increased with increasing contact time, adsorbent amount (PJC and CAC), and the solution's initial pH. Adsorption kinetics have been used to assess adsorption data. The observed RL value is 0-1 (0.102), and the log q versus log (dose) correlations are also found to be linear with r-values close to unity (r value = 0.946 and 0.979), and the rise in the % removal of Mn (II) ions after 90 minutes of contact time is not significant. The intraparticle diffusion is the study's limiting factor. PJC was discovered to be a viable alternative adsorbent material for the removal of metal ions in general, and manganese (II) ions in particular, in the current study.
