Activated Carbon Adsorption For Waste water treatmentAbstract Adsorption is termed as a process in which a solid is being used for excluding a solublesubstance from the water. Activated carbon is produced effectively. Activated carbon filtrationis considered as a very common technology to be used that is based on the contaminant'sadsorption onto the surface of the filter. This way acts much more effective for excluding somespecific organics such as odours, micro pollutants, fluorine from the water, whether the water isfor drinking purpose or for waste. During the filtration of water, by using activated carbon, thecontaminants sticks to the surface of the granules of carbon or sometimes, become trapped in thesmaller pores of the activated carbon. The process is called adsorption. The main aim of thereview states as the usage of activated carbon includes the treatment principles, preparation ofthe activated charcoal, utilization of activated carbon units, combination of activated carbon withother processes. INTRODUCTIONActivated carbon is termed as a substance that is being made in such a way that it clearsa large amount of porosity along with an enlarged surface area. During the filtration of waterwith the help of activated carbon, the contaminants remains stick to the surface of the granules ofthe carbon and sometimes, become trapped also in those small pores. The process is termed asadsorption. The filters of activated carbon are efficient enough for excluding certain organicssuch as odours, micro pollutants etc. It does not act effective for the microbial contaminants,nitrates, metals and the other inorganic contaminants, nitrates, metals and the other contaminantsthat are inorganic.LITERATURE REVIEWFactors affecting the performance of activated carbonAccording to Ghaedi and et.al., (2014), there are various factors that has an impact on theoverall performance of the activated carbon. These factors can be the molecular weight, its pHlevel, the size of the particle, temperature, flow rate etc. These factors can affect nsssegatively aswell as positively. Jribi and et.al, (2014) stated that the adsorption of the activated carbonbecomes more effective when there is an increase in level of the molecular weight. This is1
