Study of Adsorption by fly ash for removing of Commercial phenyl

Abstract

The aim of this present work is to investigate the sorption potential of a modified and unmodified fly ash as a low-cost adsorbent material for the removal of phenyl from aquous medium. In this regard fly ash is a very attractive option, because it is cheap, widely available and has good mechanical stability for handling purposes and employment in adsorption columns. The effect of various factors such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, PH, temperature and initial adsorbent. A concentration on the sorption process was investigated under batch equilibrium technique using UV/Vis Spectrometry. The result obtained showed that the capacity of fly ash for adsorption of Phenyl depends on the initial PH and concentration of solutions.
