Boehmite was synthesized and characterized in order to study the adsorption behavior and
possibility to remove naphthalene as one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
from industrial waste water. The removal of naphthalene was investigated in terms of various
parameters namely: pH, operating time, initial concentration of naphthalene and weight of
adsorbent using batch technique. The data showed that the adsorption of naphthalene onto
boehmite is not affected by changes in the pH. Adsorption data of naphthalene on the …
