UTILIZATION OF EUCALYPTUS BARK FOR SYNTHESIS OF HIGH SURFACE AREA ACTIVATED CARBON: A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH FOR METHYLENE BLUE REMOVAL
Keywords:
Abstract
The present study investigates the potential utilization of eucalyptus bark, an abundantly available agricultural waste, as a precursor for the synthesis of high surface area activated carbon. The activated carbon material is synthesized through a carbonization and activation process, followed by subsequent characterization using various analytical techniques. The synthesized activated carbon is evaluated for its effectiveness in removing methylene blue, a widely used textile dye and environmental pollutant. Batch adsorption experiments are conducted to assess the adsorption capacity and kinetics of methylene blue onto the eucalyptus bark-derived activated carbon. The results demonstrate the remarkable adsorption performance of the synthesized material, indicating its potential as a sustainable and cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions.
