title: Adsorption of Remazol Brilliant Blue R on activated carbon prepared from a pine cone.
abstract: In this work the activated pine cone was investigated as adsorbent to remove Remazol Brilliant Blue R from aqueous solution. The effects of various experimental parameters such as initial dye concentration, contact time, temperature, adsorbent dose and pH were examined. The adsorption of Remazol Brilliant Blue R from aqueous solution was increased with the increase in initial dye concentration, contact time, temperature, adsorbent dose but decreased with the increase in the pH. The results in this study indicated that the activated pine cone was an attractive candidate for removing Remazol Brilliant Blue R.
