Removal of Phenol from Waste Water Using Various Agricultural Waste Adsorbents

Abstract

Phenolic compounds are categorised as hazardous pollutants that contaminant groundwater. The principal objective of this article was to organising effective adsorbents for the removal of phenol and it’s derivative. In this review article, a compelling amount of published paper were consulted in order to provide information about various agricultural waste adsorbents. Agricultural waste adsorbents have been modified by thermal and chemical process to enhance the surface area properties. This article has suggested that increasing the adsorbent dosage increases the adsorption capacity. The pH, adsorption capacity, reduction efficiency and temperature have been investigated for various adsorbents in this article. This study proved that agricultural waste adsorbents are effective in removal of phenol from waste water.
