Preparation and Characterisation of Activated Carbon from Rice Husk and its Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) Composite for Heavy Metal Removal from Simulated Wastewater
Abstract: AbstractRemoval of heavy metals from industrial wastewater is of importance due to rapid increase in global industrial activities. This investigation deals with the preparation of adsorbentactivated carbon from agricultural waste material such as coconut shell, orange peel, ricehusk, peanut husk and sawdust to remove heavy metals from wastewater. The abundance and availability of rice husk, an agricultural waste, make them as a good source for precursor of activated carbon. Hence, …
