Abstract
Abstract In present investigation 3-Aminophenol and 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzoic acid were used for surface modification of adsorbent such as Filtrasorb 300 (F-300). It was achieved by stirring organic ligand with fixed quantity of granular activated carbon (GAC) at a temperature 25 ± 1 °C at 500 rpm. A chemically modified GAC was used to examine its uptake capacity in removal of cobalt by batch technique from the aqueous media. The experimental data were fitted well to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model indicating monolayer phenomenon. The GAC F-300 modified with 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzoic acid showed a high efficiency for the removal of Co2+ ions from aqueous solution.
