Abstract
The Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal capacity of fly ash from textile wastewater and its comparison with activated carbon has been studied. The effect of various parameters like pH, initial concentration and particle size has been presented. Adsorption isotherms and kinetics of removal have also been analysed. The percentage reduction of COD was found to increase with decrease in initial concentration of COD of the effluent. Maximum removal was observed at low pH values.
