Abstract :- Abstract: The present paper deals with the removal of acetic acid using modified Norit Activated Carbon (NAC). Surface properties of NAC were modified by irradiating the sample with gamma radiations from Co-60 Source. Batch adsorption method was used to study removal of acetic acid by adsorption. Characterization differences in the Irradiated and Non-irradiated NAC surface were confirmed by different analytical techniques viz. FTIR, XRD, SEM, BET and EDX. Adsorption equilibrium study shows consistently higher capacities in irradiated adsorbent compared to the non-irradiated adsorbent for adsorption of acetic acid. The results show that the adsorption capacity of irradiated Norit activated carbon increases with increase in the amount of irradiation dose.
