Adsorption of Vanadium(V) From Textile Industry Effluent Using <i>Luffa cylindrica</i> Activated Carbon

This study investigated the utilisation of Luffa cylindrica activated carbon as a low-cost adsorbent in removal vanadium(V) from textile industry effluent batch adsorption experiment. The rate was studied for contact time, pH, and dosage. effect pH on with 0.2 g/100 ml dose, 10 min solution. maximum efficiency 99.90 % at 4, 97.43 60 97.83 an dosage 1.0 g. characterisation results FTIR SEM indicated that adsorbents’ potential fully exploited. In this study, experimental findings were fitted using Langmuir Freundlich isotherm models. model gave better fit data. kinetic data by pseudo-second order than pseudo-first model.
