Coir pith, a waste biomass, from coconut coir industry was used to prepare activated carbon with ZnCl2 and employed for the removal of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) from aqueous solution and wastewater. Zinc chloride-activated coir pith carbon (ZnCPC) was prepared by mixing coir pith with ZnCl2 in the ratio 2:1 and carbonized at 700 degrees C for 1 h. ZnCPC was characterized using standard physicochemical methods, Brunaver, Emmett, and Teller (BET) surface area, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies. Batch mode adsorption studies were carried out to evaluate the effect of contact time, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, pH, and temperature. The Langmuir adsorption capacity Q0 was found to be 149.3 mg g-1. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption obeyed second-order and Bangham's model. Equilibrium adsorption data fit better into Langmuir, Freundlich, and D-R isotherms. pH effect and desorption studies showed that ion-exchange mechanism was involved in the adsorption process. Effect of temperature was not significant. Quantitative removal of 2-CP from synthetic wastewater was also achieved. ZnCPC is economically effective compared to commercial activated carbon, because the raw material is abundantly and freely available and it can be used effectively in the treatment of water contaminated with 2-CP.
