Organic and chemical contamination of surface and groundwater resources in the Valapattanam River in Kannur district, coupled with dumping of waste and unscientific sewage disposal has raised concerns about the health hazards for people living in the river basin areas. The environmental monitoring programme on water quality conducted by the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment is an eye-opener to the water pollution in the river basin. This study explores a sustainable solution remarkably for reducing river water contaminated by textile waste using activated carbon (AC) from various agricultural and food waste products, like sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, rice husk, garlic peel, pistachio shell and areca nut husk as adsorbents. The effectiveness of AC were measured through its physical properties such as moisture content, bulk density, iodine number and cation exchange capacity (CEC) along with its ability to improve water quality parameters like dissolved oxygen (DO) levels and total hardness of water. Analysis of dye adsorption using methylene blue and malachite green were also performed. The findings reveal that activated carbon, sourced from a variety of waste products, is a viable and environmentally friendly option for reducing water pollution and enhancing its quality.
