Modelling of acid brown 14 and acid yellow 36 dyes adsorption from water by self-nitrogen-doped activated carbon.

ABSTRACT: Acid Brown 14 (AB14) and Acid Yellow 36 (AY36) are synthetic azo dyes extensively utilized in numerous industries, resulting in detrimental environmental consequences. This study aims to manufacture self-nitrogen-doped porous activated carbon (AC7-800) and investigate its effectiveness in removing the AB14 and AY36 dyes from water solutions. The AC7-800 was created by combining fish waste (with a protein composition of 60% as a nitrogen source), which served as a self-nitrogen dopant. An equal mass ratio (1:1:1) of sawdust, fish waste, and zinc chloride underwent a hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C for 5 h. Subsequently, the material underwent pyrolysis for 1 h in a continuous flow of nitrogen gas at 800 °C to produce AC7-800. The AC7-800 adsorbent was successfully tested and approved to el
