Kinetics of Colour Removal from Effluent Using Activated Carbon

The rate processes for the adsorption of C.I. Disperse Blue 7 on activated carbon have been reported. A number of factors which affect the rate of adsorption of C.I. Disperse Blue 7 on activated carbon have been studied. The experimental variables investigated include: the effect of agitation, initial dye concentration, carbon particle size and temperature. The activated energy for the adsorption process was found to be 34 kJ/mol
