Adsorption studies of chlorinated organic compounds using coconut waste based activated carbon

Abstract

Adsorption using agricultural waste materials have gained newlineimportance in the recent years owing to their distinctive advantages like newlinesimplicity easy regeneration and operation over a broad range of conditions newlineOrganic compounds especially the AOX adsorbable organic halogens newlineremoval is of crucial importance nowadays due to their high toxic effects to newlinethe environment and human In this research an attempt has been made in the newlinedevelopment of low cost adsorbent for the determination and treatment of newlineAOX especially the chlorinated organic compounds which is said to highly newlinecontaminate the environment than the other halogenated compounds due to newlinetheir high usage in various industries like pulp and paper pharmaceuticals newlineleather industries plastics and many more newline newline
