MODIFICATION OF COCONUT SHELL ACTIVATED CARBON WITH AN AZO LIGAND 1, 2– DIHYDRO-1, 5- DIMETHYL-2 PHENYL-4- (E)–(2,3,4- TRIHYDROPHENYL)-3H-PYRAZOL-3-ONE (DDPTP) AND ITS POTENTIALS FOR THE REMOVAL OF CD2+ PB2+ AND NI2+ FROM POLLUTED WATER
ABSTRACT Modification of coconut (Cocos nucicera L.) shell activated carbon with an Azo ligand: 1, 2– dihydro-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-(E)–(2,3,4-trihydrophenyl)-3H-pyrazol-3-one (DDPTP) and its potentials for the removal of Cd2+, Pb2+ and Ni2+ from polluted water samples were studied. It was activated chemically using CaCO3 as the activating agent. Proximate analysis on the coconut shell showed 8.7 % moisture content, 10.4 % volatile matter, 3.2 % ash content and 77.7 % fixed carbon. The ...
