Abstract

Chemical oxygen demand is measure of organic matter present in the wastewater. Organic matter present in the water consumes dissolved oxygen and it becomes harmful for aquatic life. Activated sludge process is most common method used for stabilization and removal of organic matter. Adsorption with low cost adsorbent is also effective method for removal of organic matter. In the current research groundnut shell activated carbon is used for organic matter removal from wastewater. Effects of various parameters like initial concentration, pH, adsorbent dose and contact time on COD removal are studied. Also the data is tested for Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms.
