As commercially available activated carbon is an efficient adsorbent, but its practical use is limited due to its high cost and complicated regeneration process. The aim of this investigation is to explore the potentiality of coal flyash as an alternative adsorbent for phenol removal from aqueous media. The coal flyash is characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) which shows the presence of quartz, alumina, hematite and different mineral matters. Batch type experimental studies are performed on synthetic wastewater involving different parameters like particle size of flyash, pH effect and temperature. The experimental data are analyzed by Langmuir models in order to describe the equilibrium isotherms (R & Copyright@ International Science Community Association
