The resulted activated carbon was characterized by utilizing dye (methylene blue (MB) and methyl violet (MV)) adsorption procedures and several techniques such as Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Rays diffraction (XRD). Commercial activated carbon and filter sand as individual and blend samples were also subjected to adsorption of MB, MV, Bz, and T. All obtained results were tabulated and discussed after qualitative and quantitative determinations by applying ultraviolet- visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS) for MB and MV dyes, and gas chromatography (GC) instrumentations for Bz and T.
