Adsorption Studies of Acetic Acid Removal from Waste Water Using Seeds of Brassica Nigra

Abstract

The present work investigates the potential use of biosorbent prepared from the seeds of Brassica nigra commonly called as ‘Black Mustard’ for the removal of acetic acid from wastewater. Environmental problems are growing day by day and are threatening the survival of mankind on the earth and pollution is one among them. Acetic acid is present in the effluent released from petroleum, fine chemical, pharmaceutical and textile industry. Adsorption by using various biosorbents is an attractive alternative to the conventional treatment technique for the removal of pollutants. Use of low cost absorbents is very important attribute because of which the research in this field has gained much importance. In this investigation the research is carried out to remove acetic acid using seeds of Brassica Nigra. The experimental data have been evaluated using Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The linear plots obtained shows applicability of Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm.
