Macadamia shell contains a carbon content (47 - 49%), in addition, the shell contains 46.52% Oxidation, Hidro 6.10%, Nitrogen 0.36% and relatively low ash content of only 0.22%, this indicates the grain Macadamia has the potential to become activated carbon thanks to the above characteristics. This study was conducted to modify activated carbon by oxidizing agents to change the surface structure of activated carbon from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, non-polarizing to polarization, increasing the amount of adsorption simultaneously creating more durable links between dyes and activated carbon. Study of Methylene Blue wastewater treatment with coal from Maccadamia shell modified with H2O2 agent at H2O2 ratio : coal = 10:1. Research results show that Methylene Blue adsorption capacity reaches 1g /266,26mg Methylene Blue at optimal conditions corresponding to 25% concentration and 48 hours of soaking time. Analysis of infrared spectra showed that coal is modified by H2O2 agent with functional groups –OH, Carboxylic functional group C=O, group C-H in NH3, C–N group in Amine aliphatic or in Alcohol or Phenol and C–O bonding. Modified coal by H2O2 oxidation agent has Methylene Blue color treatment efficiency of 93.26%, corresponding to the original color of 474.67 Pt - Co at the respective optimal conditions pH = 8.5, dose of 1 g/L and treatment time of 60 minutes. Research results are similar to other research results and are applicable to color wastewater treatment.

Macadamia is a tree that produces dried fruits, with each ton of macadamia seeds producing 70 - 77% of the shell. Annually, the grain processing companies in Vietnam produce thousands of tons of seeds and release tens of thousands of tons of shells. As the demand for macadamia nuts is constantly increasing in the market, more in-depth studies are needed to handle this agricultural residue. Macadamia shell has a higher surface area than other seed pods and their ash content is very low at only 0.22%, the cellulose content in the shell is about 41.2%, this shows that Macadamia shell has the potential to prepare activated carbon when burning at high temperatures. The activated carbon surface can be modified appropriately to change adsorption characteristics, forming different types of surface functional groups (oxygen functional groups, carbon surface functional groups, carbon functional groups, carbon - nitrogen, carbon - halogen) and make coal more suitable for special applications. Results of researching to prepare bio-denatured material from activated carbon K2CO3 by chemical method using HNO3 agent with optimal denaturing conditions such as concentration of 21%, denaturation time of 12 hours, degree MB adsorption reached 193.13 mg/g. The results of methylene blue adsorption adsorption tests at the optimal conditions show that at pH = 9.5 with the appropriate dose of coal is 1g/L in 120 minutes, it can be processed to reach 79.36% efficiency for water. Methylene Blue waste is 70 mg/L.

Study on preparation of activated carbons by chemical activation with NaOH using the impregnatio ratio of 3:1 (NaOH:char) from Macadamia nut shell in terms on temperature and time. The research result showed that Methylene Blue (MB) absorption at optimum temperature and time of 300oC and 90 minutes was 205,68 mg and the removal efficiency was 97,59% corresponding to the color reduction from 349,67 Pt-Co to 8,4 Pt-Co. This results showed that activated carbons prepared from Maccadia nut shells and chemical activation with NaOH had the capable of color treatment in textile wastewater.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to purify the wastewater in the garment industry. Design/methodology/approach The preparation of the calcium alginate (CA)/activated carbon (AC) composite membrane was achieved by vacuum freeze-drying and the cross-linking reaction between sodium alginate and CaCl2. Effective parameters in the methylene blue (MB) adsorption such as temperature, dose, contact time and pH were discussed. The adsorption properties of the composite membrane were investigated by isotherm, kinetics and thermodynamic analysis. The adsorption equilibrium data were described by the adsorption isotherm Langmuir model and the Freundlich model. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion equations were selected to evaluate the kinetics. The thermodynamic study described that the adsorption reaction was spontaneous and exothermic. Findings The AC/CA membrane is an efficient and powerful adsorbent to remove MB in printing and dyeing wastewater, and provides a new idea for the selection of adsorption materials for industrial printing and dyeing wastewater. Practical implications The composite membrane research on CA and AC can provide new ideas for the research of these kinds of materials. Social implications The paper contributes to its wider and convenientapplication in wastewater treatment. Originality/value Studies on the combination of CA and AC into adsorption membranes and for the removal of dyes from printing and dyeing wastewater have not been reported. A novel composite material is provided for treatment dyeing wastewater in garment production. The composite membrane research on CA and AC can provide new ideas for the research of these kinds of materials and contribute to its wider and convenient application in wastewater treatment.

The regeneration of Analginum-saturated powdered activated carbon (PAC) using solvent extraction and thermal regeneration was investigated in detail to get the optimal conditions. In the solvent extraction step, various influence factors, such as pH of solvent, treatment time, and temperature were studied respectively. In addition, the optimal conditions of thermal regeneration were determined to be 500 °C, 120 min, with blowing N2 gas at 80 mL/min. Under the optimized conditions, the regeneration efficiency of spent PAC reached as high as 95.1%. This study provides a useful reference of regeneration method for other spent activated carbons.

This research aims to study the effect of activated carbon particles in adsorption of the methylene blue as a replacement of wastewater treatment when coated on a high density polyethylene (HDPE) substrate (e.g. flat sheet and cosmo ball substrates). Prior to coating, the activated carbon has been cleaned using tab water to remove ashes which blocks the activated carbon pores. Coating was done by applying epoxy material using brushing technique, and then sprayed the activated carbon on epoxy either manually or using spray machine. The thickness and morphological of the coatings were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Analyses conducted have confirmed that granuler activated carbon coating layers ranged between 100 to 500 μm have been successfully deposited on different shapes of HDPE substrates. The coatings deposited on HDPE substrate produced high surface roughness of around 7 μm. The ability of the coated samples in removing the colour of methylene blue is believed due to the high porosity of the activated carbon(AC). The surface area has been increased dramatically if compared with uncoated substrate since the BET of activated carbon is 426 m2/g .
