Removal of reactive yellow dye 145 from wastewaters over activated carbon that is derived from Iraqi kehdrawy date palm seeds

ABSTRACT
This work involves synthesis of activated carbon from Iraqi date palm seeds as agricultural
wastes using kehdrawy palm seeds. The preparation was conducted by chemical activation method
using ZnCl2 as an activator. The synthesized activated carbon (AC) was characterized by different
analytical and spectroscopic methods. This involves using scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
flourier transformation infrared (FTIR), ash content, adsorption capacity, the percentage of humidity
and the point zero charge (PZC). The activity of the prepared activated carbon was investigated by
following the removal of reactive yellow 145 dye (RY 145) from the aqueous solutions. For a
comparison a sample of non- activated carbon (NAC) was used in the same process. From the
obtained results it was foun
