Abstract
The study of the removal of phenol from waste water by using rice husk has been carried out. Phenol concentration was measured by using 4-aminoantipyrine as colouring agent and detected at 506 nm using visible spectrophotometer spectronic 21. Several parameters that can affect phenol uptake such as particle size, pH and concentration of reagents were described. At the optimal conditions, phenol substance removal from aqueous solution is 92%. The method was applied to removal phenol substance present in plywood industry and hospital waste waters.
