A novel adsorbent based electroplating sludge – rice husk char for removal of methylene blue and ciprofloxacin in aqueous solution
Overview
Abstract:
The adsorbent based electroplating sludge and rice husk char (CR)
was prepared by ultrasonication method for adsorption of methylene blue (MB)
and Ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water. The characteristics of adsorbent such as
surface morphology, specific surface area, functional groups, element
components was confirmed by SEM, BET, FT-IR, XRD and EDX. The results showed
the adsorbent is porous structure with BET surface area of 175.22 m2/g,
most of pore width belonged meso section. Removal effectiveness of MB and CIP
were 99.89% and 74.96%, respectively after 90 min of adsorption. The experiment
was implemented with the mockup model containing of methylene blue and
ciprofloxacin in NH3.
