Effective adsorptive removal of riboflavin (RF) over activated carbon

Elimination of riboflavin (RF) from aqueous environments is important due to its potential adverse effects on living organisms and the enhancement of bacterial tolerance. The current research deals with the removal of riboflavin FR using concentration AC (5-50 mg L-1), solution pH (3.0-10), dose adsorbent (0.01-0.15 gm) and contact time (10-120.0 min). To evaluate the properties of the adsorbent, F.T-IR was used and a high efficiency in removal of (RF) from its aqueous solution and a very high adsorption capacity.
