ADSORPTION OF DYES FROM INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER USING BIOCHAR

Abstract

This study is concerned with the use of natural charcoal (Biochar) from agricultural residues to purify water from dyes as it is characterized by being is cheap and available in the environment in a large scale. By using it, we can prevent burning of agricultural residues in the environment and the resulting air pollution by conversion of these wastes to an economic value material that has high adsorption capacity.

The thesis is divided into four chapters: Chapter one is the introduction, and presented the environmental problem of the presence and burning of agricultural wastes and the resulting air pollution. As well as the problem of pollution of industrial wastewater dyes resulting from factories dyeing fabrics and clothing. Finally, it presented a short note about the biochar and its use in water treatment of organic materials and dyes. The second chapter is the previous studies literature & review and what has been done previously in this field, and the various methods for the manufacture of biochar and its sources, as well as most uses that the biochar can be used in.
