International Journal of Scientific Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 6, June-2013 2909 ISSN 2229-5518 Performance of Carbonized Agricultural Waste as a Low-Cost Adsorbent for the Removal of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate from Aquatic Environment Manisha A. Agrawal, Jyoti Kapil Nagwanshi, Sangeeta Patil Abstract— Removal of higher concentration of sodium dodecyl sulphate from waste water, using carbonized orange peel as an adsorbent has been discussed in the present investigation. Carbonized orange peel charcoal has been prepared in the lab by using muffle furnace at high temperature. Efficiency of removal of SDS is measured by pH meter using batch technique. Various concentration of SDS solutions from 1x10-4 to 12 x10-4 M have been prepared and their pH values assessed before and after adsorption on carbonized peel. By using the data, result shows a straight line pattern. Various adsorption Isotherms like Langmuir adsorption Isotherms, Freundlich adsorption Isotherms and Temkin adsorption Isotherms are discussed and compared.

For the adsorption purpose, A for any rational water management authority to secure charcoal is an effective material because of its high surface the purest water sources for direct human consumption area. Adsorption using activated carbon is most widely used and to enc
