Abstract

Pomegranate peels are considered as solid agricultural residues that were used as adsorbent materials, very effective in get rid of brilliant yellow Dye from aqueous solution after converting it to Acid-Activated Carbon by phosphoric acid. The surface properties were studied through the use of (FTIR ) and (FESEM) techniques. Several factors affect the adsorption process have been studied like, effect of dye concentration (10-100 mg/L ), where the adsorption efficiency (Qe mg/g) increases with increasing dye concentration ( mg/g ) and weight effect (0.01-0.1 ), the adsorption efficiency(Qe mg/g) decreases with increasing surface weight. Desorption of the Brilliant yellow from the ACPP was studied utilizing several type of solvents (acetone 10% (v/v), methanol 10% (v/v), 0.1N HCl, 0.1 N NaOH,). The adsorption is found through the results that obeys the Friendlich isotherm because it depends on the value of (R2 ) and also the heterogeneous surfaces.
