Treatment of wastewater from sugarcane using entrapped activated carbon

Abstract: In this work, entrapped activated carbon was mixed with wastewater from sugarcane using different liquid/solid ratio, pH, and time of operation. Experiments were run in Erlenmeyer flasks at room temperature and 100 rpm. Color reduction of wastewater was evaluated by the decrease in the absorbance at 420, 520, and 620 nm. Best results were achieved using a liquid/adsorbent ratio 0.5:1 (measured as volume of wastewater from sugarcane/volume of entrapped activated carbon), at pH = 6.5-7, and 2 hours of treatment.… Show more

“…The sugarcane agribusiness is economically important in Mexico, since it is grown in 15 states, it has 57 sugar mills and generates more than 450,000 direct jobs, and indirectly benefits more than two million people. The above positions Mexico among the top six exporting countries of cane sugar, the United States of America being one of its main markets [1,2].…”
