The Investigation Of Basic Yellow 28 Adsorption by Using Different Carbon Material

Abstract

Accessible water resources on the earth's surface are decreasing day by day. For this reason, the treatment of wastewater released into the environment from different industrial areas is becoming a very important issue. In the present study, the removal of Basic Yellow 28 (BY28), one of the dyes used in the textile industry, from aqueous media using adsorption method was tested. Two different carbon based adsorbents; graphene nanoplatelets (graphene) and activated charcoal (activated carbon) were used as adsorbents. The optimum operating conditions were found as 0.004 g, 10 mL, 10 mg/L BY28, 10 minutes for activated charcoal and 0.05 g, 10 mL, 30 mg/L BY28, 15 minutes for graphene. As a result of the data obtained at optimum operating conditions; it was concluded that activated carbon can perform a more successful treatment than graphene.
