    Author(s): Jigesh Mehta*, Deepaksingh Panwar, Anand V Metre and Mathurkumar S Bhakhar

    Textile and dyes industries are generating huge amount of dye wastewater which are toxic and hazardous to the environment. Activated charcoal based adsorption is economical treatment of waste water and water purification. It offers an effective method for removal of organic compounds and colour from wastewater at low cost. The present work is focused on the removal of Reactive Red 195 dye using activated charcoal. The percentage removal of dye is strongly dependent on the input parameters like time of agitation, temperature of system, amount of charcoal added and initial concentration of dye. A statistical technique response surface methodology was employed to study the influence of various input parameters on percentage of dye removal. Three-factor-three-level Box-Behnken Design was used for design of experiments. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms were fitted .. View More»
