Abstract

The adsorption of textile dyes (reactive violet and acid green 4G) was carried out using adsorption on activated carbon from human hair. Different analyses were done to analyze the qualities and performances of activated carbon such as moisture content, carbon tetrachloride number, benzene number, methylene blue adsorption test and iodine number. The effect of contact time, adsorbate initial concentration and pH were investigated. All the obtained results show the effectiveness of the activated carbon in the adsorption of the two textile dyes. The equilibrium time was found to be achieved after 60 min of contact with an adsorption capacity of 76.22% for the adsorption of reactive violet and 92.86% for the adsorption of acid green 4G. The parameters studied show that the adsorption capacity of dyes increases with the increasing of initial concentration and the adsorption is faster in pH = 4 for the adsorption of reactive violet and pH = 6 for adsorption of acid green 4G on activated carbon.
