Chemically activated carbon using peat soil for heavy metals adsorption in industrial wastewater

The present work is aimed to produce peat soil activated carbon (PSAC) for the removal of heavy metal ions in industrials wastewater. Activated carbon from peat has successfully produced by chemical activation process using sulphuric acid as activating agents. The effect of heating temperature on th...

Activated carbon from peat has successfully produced by chemical activation process using sulphuric acid as activating agents. The effect of heating temperature on the carbon content, the physical and chemical characterizations of peat activated carbons were studied. From this study, peat soil heated at 400℃ possess the highest carbon content with concentration of 95.44 % due to the complete degradation of organic matter.

FTIR spectrum analysis showed the carboxyl, ketone, aldehyde, methylene and hydroxyl groups are present on the surface of PSAC due to the activation process with H2SO4.

The heavy metal adsorption capacity is evaluate by using an adsorption test. The heavy metal elemental compositions (Cu, Zn, Al, Cr, Pb and Fe) in the industrial wastewater were analysed using ICP – MS. The adsorption test was conducted using batch experiment method where various dosage of PSAC (0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 g) mixed to 25 ml water samples.
