Inconsiderable use of water like basic natural resources has created many water pollution and contamination issues worldwide. Many of the water contaminators like unwanted metal and organic compound particles are adversely affecting the health of living life. Consequently, an economically viable wastewater treatment method is required at the time. Adsorption is found one of the most convenient methods for contaminated water treatment. In the present thesis work, a comparative analysis of the tamarind wood agricultural waste, in activated and non-activated form is been performed to treat MO dye contaminated water. Two 10 ml batches of MO dye, with concentrations 05, 10, 15 & 20 ppm were treated with a variable amount of activated & non-activated ATC respectively, for 05 hours. After treatment the residue was separated with the help of Whatman Filter Paper No. 1. UV-Vis and FTIR data of the filtrates and residue was obtained to find the concentration and the changes in concentration & chemical composition of filtrate and molecular changes in residue. From the analysis of UV-Vis data, concentration and decontamination efficiency of ATC & TC was calculated. ATC was been confirmed a better adsorbent over TC for the decontamination of MO, in characterization techniques.EnglishThesis
