Decolourization of pulp and paper mill effluents using heattreated ...
The heattreated coal was prepared in an inert atmosphere at 800°C. The adsorption dynamics that include batch contacttime study, kinetics along with adsorption isotherms were carried out. The study shows that heattreated coal is a suitable adsorbent and can be used for the decolourization of pulp and paper mill effluent streams.
