Abstract

A synthesis of two forms of activated carbons is included in this paper. Because of its capacity to removecontaminants from both air and water, activated carbon (AC) is commonly employed for purification. Itsporous structure allows it to trap impurities, and it is frequently suggested for a variety of water andwastewater treatment applications. However, due to the high expense of filing an AC application, thenumber of applications that can be filed is limited. AC was made using locally accessible Peltophorumpterocarpum (Copper Pod) and Phoenix dactylifera (Date Plam) seeds in this study. Fluoride adsorption onphysical activated carbon from a synthetic sample made from Peltophorum pterocarpum (Copper Pod) andPhoenix dactylife. To remove fluorine from the body physically activated carbon, adsorption in batchesmethods were completed in order to find the best time, dose, pH sorption kinetics, and sorption equilibrium.The ideal contact duration, dosage of adsorbent and carbon pH were found to be 30 minutes, 140 mg, and8.00, and 50 minutes, 225 mg, and 9.00, with fluoride removal efficiency of 77.5 percent, 79.33 percent, 82.6percent, and 72.63 percent, 75.8%, 76.5 percent, respectively. Changes in process factors such as adsorptiontime and dosage were recycled to inspect adsorption kinetics and sorption isotherm models. The isothermsof Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin are three scientists investigated using This experimental data hasbeen determined to be accurate.
