commonly to maintain personal hygiene. It has been found that PCP’s is affecting
the water bodies over the world. Conventional treatment methods are not
sufficient for the treatment of PCPs. In this study, the removal of PCP’s from
barber salon wastewater - grey part by the adsorption process was investigated.
The removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) by different adsorbents;
active carbon, raw human hair, and basalt were assessed and compared. To
achieve that, 1 g of the proposed materials were added to 100 mL of the grey
barber wastewater. The combinations were inserted into 250 mL beaker to prevent
any unpredicted loss. The beakers were agitated at 150 rpm in an orbital shaker
for 24 h at room temperature. The initial value of the COD was measured and
founded to be 2400 mg/L. The COD removal efficiency by active carbon, raw human
hair, and basalt was founded to be 63%, 85%, and 38.3% respectively. Since the
maximum removal efficiency was obtained when basalt was used as an adsorbent,
the response surface method was used to design and optimize the adsorption
process onto the basalt only. When 0, 2318 g of the basalt was used, the
adsorption capacity increased until 40th minute, the capacity had been constant
at 721 mg/g. The use of waste material in the treatment of wastewater is a
green engineering application. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={1}
