Abstract
The article describes investigation results in applying the melaleuca cajuput activated carbon in waste water treatment for textile industry. The melaleuca cajuput charcoal activated by steam is of the specific surface area of about 1000 m2/g. The received activated carbon is used for further investigations to identify isotherm equilibrium curves, kinetic characteristics of the adsorption of Sulfite Red S3B, Sulzol Blue R-VL and Procion Yellow HE-XL dyestuffs. Langmuir’s equations appear to fit well the experiments. For kinetic characteristics, pseudo second order equations are found to fit better the experiments, that is in agreement with other researchers. The investigations point out that the melaleuca cajuput activated carbon could be effectively used for textile waste water treatment.
