摘要：
The proposal of this work was the preparation and characterization of activated carbons obtained from water treatment plant sludge (WTS) to apply as adsorbents in the removal of organic dye contaminants from wastewater. The activated carbons were produced with a combination of chemical activation and pyrolysis processes. The textural characteristics of both adsorbents presented a satisfactory superficial area and mesoporous structure. The presence of phenolic and carboxylic groups in the surface indicated a better adsorption of cationic adsorbates. When applied as adsorbents in the removal of methylene blue (MB) from wastewater, the maximum removal values obtained were up to 96%. The adsorption results showed that the adsorption was faster in the beginning and reached maximum around 30 min. The Elovich kinetic model and the Sips isotherm model presented the best fit to experimental data, which was checked by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The production of activated carbons from WTS is a sustainable and effective option in the removal of MB dye.
