| Summary: | In the present study, different activated carbons were prepared from carbonized
mangrove timber by potassium hydroxide activation agent. The activated carbons were
characterized by thermogravimetric analyzer, brunauer-emmett-teller and elemental
analyzer. The Fe2+ ions adsorption of the prepared carbons was evaluated. The different
factors affecting Fe2+ ions removal were studied which are the activation temperature and
ratio of KOH impregnation. The optimum Fe2+ ions removal was obtained at activated
carbon with parameter 850 °C of activation temperature and 1.5 of KOH impregnation
ratio. The maximum removal percentage were determined at 50 mg/L initial Fe2+
concentration at 57.86 %. The adsorption of Fe2+ ions on mangrove based activated carbon
was found to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic
model. The result of adsorption study showed that the activated carbon prepared from
mangrove timber is a suitable adsorbent for Fe2+ ions removal from aqueous solution. |
