Abstract

This study aimed to use bovine rumen waste as a precursor for the synthesis of activated carbon, as well as to apply the produced carbon in effluent treatment for the removal of tartrazine dye. The bovine rumen waste exhibited suitable characteristics as a carbon precursor, including a high lignocellulosic content, and can be used to synthesize activated carbon. Phosphoric acid was used for chemical activation (105 °C for 24 h at a 1:1 ratio), and functional groups were effectively incorporated onto the adsorbent surface, resulting in acidic carbon. At a pH of 3, the adsorbent showed high efficiency in removing tartrazine dye, with the adsorption capacity influenced by temperature (111.90 mg.L⁻¹ at 318.15 K). The best-fitting isotherm model was Freundlich, and the adsorption was found to be endothermic, thermodynamically favorable at all studied temperatures. Therefore, activated carbon from bovine rumen waste has the potential to be a sustainable and low-cost adsorbent for removing dyes from industrial effluents.

期刊介绍： Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology is the official journal of the International Society of Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology (ISBAB). The journal publishes high quality articles especially in the science and technology of biocatalysis, bioprocesses, agricultural biotechnology, biomedical biotechnology, and, if appropriate, from other related areas of biotechnology. The journal will publish peer-reviewed basic and applied research papers, authoritative reviews, and feature articles. The scope of the journal encompasses the research, industrial, and commercial aspects of biotechnology, including the areas of: biocatalysis; bioprocesses; food and agriculture; genetic engineering; molecular biology; healthcare and pharmaceuticals; biofuels; genomics; nanotechnology; environment and biodiversity; and bioremediation.
