Comparative study on the displacement of methylene blue from aqueous solution using agricultural waste activated carbon and activated carbon + Fe3O4 nanocomposite

Abstract

The present study deals with the adsorption property of cajanus cajan stem activated carbon (CCAC) and cajanus cajan stem activated carbon (CCAC) + Fe3O4 Nanocomposite. The main aim of the study is to give aid to the dying industries in the removal of toxic dyes from the effluent of the dyeing industry at a low cost. To remove Methylene Blue dye from aqueous solution, the adsorbents CCAC and CCAC+Fe3O4 Nanocomposite were used. The results showed that the nanocomposite was better than CCAC.
