Particle Size Effect on the Water Vapour - Activated Tamarind Seeds (Tamarindus indica L.) Toward the Adsorbent Physical Properties

The increasing problem of dyestuff liquid waste in the textile industry occurs due to the low adsorption of textiles toward dyes. Therefore, various efforts have been made to enhance the fabric's absorption. One method that has been done is by adding biomass-derived dye-binding additives which...

Description
Summary:The increasing problem of dyestuff liquid waste in the textile industry occurs due to the low adsorption of textiles toward dyes. Therefore, various efforts have been made to enhance the fabric's absorption. One method that has been done is by adding biomass-derived dye-binding additives which act as an adsorbent. One of potential biomasses is tamarind seeds. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of particle size of tamarind seeds, which is physically activated, on the adsorbent character. The variation of adsorbent particle size applied were -80 + 100 mesh (177-149 μm), -100 + 120 mesh (149- 125 µm), -120 + 150 mesh (125-99.3 µm) and less than 150 mesh (
