Removal of Methylene Blue from Industrial Effluents Using Corncob Activated Carbon

Water contamination by methylene blue (MB) is a threat to human health and aquatic biota due its toxicity, persistence, non-biodegradability. However, there little data available in the literature on removal approach from industrial effluents corncob-activated carbon. The purpose of this study was investigate adsorption aqueous solution capacities carbon were investigated batch experiments both synthetic solutions effluents. optimum pH value 10.3 with percentage 93.4 %. Methylene activated followed second-order kinetics well fitted Langmuir model. maximum capacity (Qmax) 11.36 mg/g. This revealed that has successfully removed effluents, percentages ranging 65.14 %, 76.28 excellent dye efficiency corncob industry suggests promising potential remediating contaminated wastewater.
