Activated biochar prepared from plaintain peels :Characterization and Rhodamine B adsorption dataset

The surface morphology and Surface Chemistry of plantain peel activated biochar(PPAB )viz-a-viz PPAB efficacy in RhodamineB(RhB) dye adsorption is presented in -ticle. Thesurfacemorphologyshowspores of various shapes and sizes consequence of activation. SurfaceChemistryrevealedfunctionalgroupssuchas–OHandC=Oofamide. Adsorption of RhB was observed to increase with increased pH and optimum adsorption was observed at pH of 7 with percentage removal of 54.78%. Increase in temperature had negligible effect on RhB removal. RhB uptake increased with increase in PPAB dosage upto 0.3mg/Land increased contact time aided RhB removal with optimum adsorption of 84.41mg/gat 120min
