Abstract

In this study, the activated carbon derives from plum seed shells are used for the treatment of textile wastewater collected from the Wandwin area which has high concentrations of parameters such as pH, colour, TSS, TDS, COD, and BOD. pH value of textile wastewater is 12.4 that leads to alkaline, so pH adjusts with alum coagulants. After treatment the COD concentration can be reduced from 1280 mg/l to 20 mg/l by using equilibrium concentration of activated carbon, Ce =50 mg/. The adsorption data followed the Langmuir isotherm (R² = 0. 0.97832). Other parameters also significantly decreased from 74.74 % to 98.29%. According to the National Enviromental Quality Guideline (NEQG) Myanmar, all treated water parameters comply with NEQG standards. Therefore, the plum seed shell activated carbon is an effective and sustainable material for the treatment of textile wastewater and treated effluent can be safely discharged into the surrounding water bodies.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that activated carbon produced from plum seed shells is an effective adsorbent for treating highly polluted sugar factory wastewater from the Yeni area. The raw effluent was strongly acid (pH 4.5) and contained elevated TSS, TDS, COD (1280 mg/L), and BOD; pH was corrected using sodium hydroxide coagulants 2 ml/ l prior to adsorption. The effluent of pre-treatment is absorbed by plum seed shell activated carbon AC1, AC2, AC3 and AC4 using 10 gm/l. Among them, AC4 is the most effective and the percent removal of sugar factory wastewater parameters are turbidity (80.91%), TDS (42.86%), Colour (50%),COD (75%) and BOD (97.2%) respectively. The treated effluent met Myanmar’s National Environmental Quality Guideline (NEQG) across all measured parameters, supporting the conclusion that plum seed shell activated carbon is both effective and sustainable for sugar factory wastewater remediation. The research may contribute to civil, enviromental engineering and related domains.
