Abstract
Textile effluents pose considerable impact on soil and water due to indiscriminate discharge of partially/untreated effluent. Development of effective treatment technology for colour removal is difficult, since dyes are continually being upgraded to suit market demands. This investigation aims at feasibility of sorption for colour removal of spent orange dye effluent using powdered activated carbon (PAC). Experimental results show that the colour removal efficiency is maximum (93%) at pH 2 for a dose of 1.5 g/L of PAC.
