"Comparision of the efficacy of natural adsorbents from jack fruit and coconut shell waste for the adsorption of impurities of dye and water"

In the present work, Jackfruit and coconut shell waste from natural resources are used to synthesize adsorbents by the carbonization method for the removal of methylene blue dye and impurities from wastewater. Absorbents from Jackfruit and coconut shells were synthesized at 550 °C for 4 h in the carbonization method and activated by acid treatment. Adsorbents synthesized from jackfruit and coconut shell waste were characterized by using techniques like BET, SEM, and XRD to study and compare their properties. This research concludes that jackfruit waste adsorbents act better than coconut shells and are similar to conventional ones. At adsorption parameters of 30 °C, pH= 7, 3-gram adsorbent quantity, reusable 3 times and a 24-hour contact period, for the absorption of dye and debris from wastewater jackfruit waste is preferable. Also, the qualities of traditional activated charcoal are contrasted with those of the jackfruit and coconut shell adsorbents. Purification of wastewater with jackfruit adsorbent was more than 96.3% as compared to coconut shell adsorbent with a 69.3% waste removal efficiency. The results demonstrated that jackfruit waste, due to its better structure, morphology and surface area would be the most effective adsorbent for removing methylene blue dye and contaminants from wastewater.
