Acid activated carbon obtained from cheap, non-toxic and locally available banana peel was used as a low cost and efficient adsorbent for the removal of dyes methyl orange and rhodamine-B from the aqueous solution. Changes in the resulting material before and after activation and after treatment were studied by different techniques, such as SEM-EDX, XRD, FTIR measurements. Effects of duration of treatment, amount of banana peel activated carbon, pH, and initial methyl orange and rhodamine-B concentration, on the removal of dye were studied to get optimum conditions for maximum dye removal. Removal efficiency of the activated ash remains almost constant in a wide range of pH from 2.5 to 5.6. In 75 min at room temperature removal of 98.5 % methyl orange (anionic) and 99.0 % rhodamine-B (cationic) dyes with 0.1 g and 0.125 g, respectively was obtained from the contaminated water having 10 ppm dye concentration.

Activated carbon (AC) was fabricated from carrot waste using ZnCl2 as the activating agent and calcined at 700 °C for 2 h in a tube furnace. The as-synthesized AC was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis; the results revealed that it exhibited a high specific surface area and high porosity. Moreover, this material displayed superior catalytic activity for the degradation of toxic Rhodamine B (RhB) dye. Rate constant for the degradation of RhB was ascertained at different experimental conditions. Lastly, we used the Arrhenius equation and determined that the activation energy for the decomposition of RhB using AC was approximately 35.9 kJ mol−1, which was very low. Hopefully it will create a great platform for the degradation of other toxic dye in near future.

Iron loaded activated carbon (IAC) was used as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for generating hydroxyl (via Fenton reactions) and sulphate radicals (via persulphate oxidation), and it tested for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) from a water medium.

Activated carbon was produced by physico-chemical activation of hydrothermally carbonized dried stem derived from Corchorus olitorius, commonly known as Jute (JS), using potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an activation agent.

Polysulfone/Activated Carbon (PSF/AC) composites in bead form were prepared for Rhodamine B sorption. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that pure PSF bead is smooth surface while PSF/AC bead presents the pore distribution. FT-IR spectra indicate the existence of AC on the PSF/AC bead surface. Under adsorption test of Rhodamine B, it was found that an increase in the AC content in PSF solution results in an increase in the percentages of dye adsorption from 1.38 % to 71.56% for pure PSF bead and PSF/AC added with 4 wt% of AC, respectively.
