The study used self-made nutshell activated carbon and took catering wastewater as research object. After pretreatment, the catering wastewater was adsorbed by nutshell activated carbon.Throught investigating the adsorption value of methylene blue and iodine,the effect of Peach pit shell activated carbon is higher than others.The optimal conditions are determined: proper time of reaction 4 h, Peach shell activated carbon dosage 30 mg/L, pH 6.0, reaction temperature 30°C. Under this optimum, the removal rate of CODcr as well as grease can be as high as 92.75% and 87.05%, respectively.
