Abstract

The microstructures of carbonized rice husk (CRH) and apricot stone (CAS) were studied to understand its adsorption of oil from refinery wastewater. Carbonization temperature affects the pore development of adsorbent materials resulting in elongated large pores as well as appearance of micropores, as evident from the SEM data. The results of chromatographic analysis of refinery wastewater showed that almost 86.2 and 92.4 % of oil product can be removed from the solution using CRH and CAS, respectively.
