It is also one of main sources that contribute to the water pollution. Hence, proper studies are needed to investigate the low-cost adsorbents used to remove the dye in textile wastewater. In this study, activated carbon,  prepared  from  palm  coir  pith  which  is  a  waste  product  obtained  throughout  the extraction of coir fibre from husk were used as adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue. The palm coir pith was treated by using sulphuric acid and   pyrolyzed in a muffle furnace for different temperature and times. There are three parameters  considered to test the methylene blue  which  are  pH  of  the  methylene  blue, adsorbance  rate  during  adsorbing  process  and duration of the adsorbed substances staying inside the sample.  The results show that in term of acidity,  PCP  that  is  pyrolyzed  for  300 °C  in  1  hour  gives  better  improvement  analysis which is 37.33 % compared to the others while in terms of clarity, the pyrolysis process in 4 hours at 300 °C gives good result compared to the others which is 89.31 %. Hence, it showed that activated carbon of palm coir pith could be used as low-cost alternatives to commercial activated carbon in textile wastewater treatment for the removal of basic dyes20aFaculty of Civil Engineering and Earth ResourcesxDissertations 0aUniversities and CollegesxDissertations 0aTheses40uhttp://ecollib.ump.edu.my/25888/zAccess in library only
