Fixed bed column filtration using pineapple waste activated carbon for dye removal

Dyes are used widely in various industries for colouring purpose. Dye wastes are one of the most concerning pollution in Malaysia. They are easily can be identified by human eyes and not easily degradable which bring detrimental effects to the environment and human. However, the disposal of dye can...

The study was carried out to study the effects of particle size (125 μm and 335 μm) and adsorbent dosage (5 g and 15 g) by using fixed bed column experiment. The results obtained from this study showed that the highest removal for MB were 15 g dosage of pineapple peel activated carbon for both size (125 μm - 99.96%, 335 μm - 99.97%) while for MG were also 15g dosage for both size(125 μm- 99.96%,335μm- 99.97%).
