Continuous adsorption of cationic dye (Basic Red 46): Kinetic and equilibrium studies
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Bioprocess Engineering, 2011-05)A continuous fixed bed study was carried out to evaluate the adsorption of Basic Red (BR 46) on activated carbon as a function of bed height (20-100 mm), influent flow rate (30-90 mL/min), initial pH (pH 3-10) and influent ... -
Decolorization of crude Glycerol using activated carbon
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2017-06)Glycerol is a very valuable product that is high in demand in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries. Crude glycerol is the main source of glycerol and is obtained as by-product from biodiesel industry. However, due ... -
Kinetic study of activated carbon from palm kernel shell for copper removal
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2016-06)The production of alternative activated carbon has been resolved to replace the costly activated carbon to remove unwanted heavy metals from contaminated water at low cost. Heavy metals are very toxicity and can harm human ... -
