Carbonised coirpith as an adsorbent for the removal of toxic ions, dyes and pesticides from wastewaters
Carbonized coirpith was effective in the removal of toxic metal ions such as Hg(II), Pb(II), Cr(VI) and orthophosphate and dyes such as rhodamine-B, acid violet, procion orange and congo red and paraquat in aqueous phase systems. Quantitative removal of dye and toxic metal ions and around 75% removal of phosphate and paraquat were observed.
