Abstract
Adsorbents prepared from palm kernel shell an agricultural waste product were used to remove a dye malachite green MG from an aqueous solution in batch mode. The percentage removal and adsorption capacity of MG onto palm kernel shell activated carbon were studied. The study suggested that palm kernel shell activated carbon PKSAC could be used as low-cost alternatives in wastewater treatment for dye removal. In this study activated carbon were produced from 5 temperatures 600 C 700 C 800 C 900 C and 1000 C and times of heating process 60 90 and 120 min. The best product for PKSAC was at activation temperature of 800 C at 120 minutes. The optimization for condition was conducted using central composite design CCD varying 5 parameters; contact time initial concentration adsorbent dosage pH and agitation speed. The best adsorption capacity 120.06 mg/g where the best condition was at contact time of 120 minutes initial concentration of 150 ppm 1.0g adsorbent dosage at pH 7 and the agitation speed was 150 rpm.
