Removal of iron (II)‎ from wastewater by locally prepared of activated carbon

الملخص EN

The use of low-cost activated carbon derived from reed, an agriculture waste material, has been investigated for the removed of Fe (II) from wastewater, using batch method.

The influences of the weight of adsorbent (0.2-2) g, pH of solution (1-9) and initial Fe (II) concentration (10-80) mg/l have been studied.

The suitability of the activated carbon used was tested by fitting the adsorption data with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms.

The study showed that the adsorption data obtained are obeying the Freundlich isotherm fitting.
