Abstract
Activated charcoal is known for its adsorption capability because of its predominantly micropore surface areas and is widely used in industries for treating wastewaters, for potable water purification, and even decolorization of dye and other applications.
This study sought to determine the efficacy of different pulverized charcoal made from bamboo, coconut shell and rice hull in the purification of piggery wastewater. The physico-chemical properties of the piggery wastewater such as Phosphate, Nitrate, pH, color and odor were analyzed before and after treatment: The treatment using pulverized coconut charcoal proved to be effective in the purification of piggery wastewater in terms of phosphate concentration. The different pulverized charcoal from bamboo, coconut and rice hull carbon differ significantly in terms of pH but comparable in terms of their adsorptive property in phosphate content of the piggery wastewater.
