Abstract

In the reported experiments, the ability of one activated carbon to remove dyestuffs from aqueous solutions has been investigated. The range of dyestuffs includes acidic, basic, disperse and direct dyes, and several factors have been studied, namely, agitation, initial dye concentration, adsorbent concentration, adsorbent particle-size range, dye solution temperature, pH of solution and salt concentration.
