Dye stuff production units have always had a pressing need for techniques that allow economical pretreatment for color in the effluent. Reactive black 5 dye (RB5), a remazol type dye, used in various industries has eco-toxic hazardous effects and is a major cause of pollution in waste water system.
In this study fly ash from coal burning power plant was activated chemically, used as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of reactive black 5 dye. The activated fly ash was characterized by XRD. Results showed that activated fly ash due to increased amorphous property possesses more activity over surface to act as a suitable adsorbent for the removal of dye waste from industrial effluents. The adsorption kinetics is well represented by first order kinetic model.
