Abstract :
One of the many uses for activated carbons,
which are incredibly adaptable adsorbents, is the
bleaching of edible oils. Although wood, peat, lignite, and
coal are the usual sources for activated carbon
generation; agricultural wastes like nutshells are also
taken into consideration as possible resources because of
their renewable nature and abundance in Turkey. In this
work, natural coal was used to make the activated
carbon that was used to bleach the oil samples (Goya
olive oil and palm oil). After the material has been dried,
the experiment was conducted in a furnace that could be
heated to 50000C.conduct adsorption on palm and soybean oils. Using a
UV spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 460 nm, the
absorbance and concentration of the two samples of
neutralized oils were determined. Using the Langmuir
isotherm equation, the equilibrium concentration, values
for Ce/qc, b, and slopes for palm oil and soybean oil were
determined. Ce/Qc = 1.Ce/Qo + 1/bQo, where Ce is the
equilibrium concentration, Qc is the percent absorption,
1/Qo is the slope, Qo is the adsorption capacity, and b is
the Langmuir constant.Therefore; activated coal was
found to be moresuccessful at bleaching palm oil than
goya olive oilin experimental trials, which led to this
conclusion.
