The given research study explains about the removal of methyl red dye from aqueous solution. Using activated carbon prepared from kitchen waste. Garlic husk which was used in this work is cost effective and easily available kitchen waste for the production of activated carbon. HCl solution was used as activating agent. Various characterization procedures such as FT-IR, XRD, moisture content, ash value, volatile matter content, pH, iodine value of prepared activated carbon was studied. The adsorption property of activated carbon using different measurement studies like contact time study, effect of concentration, effect of dose of adsorbent was also studied.
