AB  - The present study investigates the adsorption potential of Punica granatum 
      (pomegranate) peel as an adsorbent for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol 
      (2,4-DCP) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption was studied as a function of 
      contact time, initial concentration and temperature by batch method. The 
      adsorption capacity of pomegranate peel adsorbent for 2,4-DCP was found to be 
      65.7 mg g(-1). The equilibrium adsorption data was well described by the Langmuir 
      model. Kinetic studies suggest that the present system of phenol adsorption on 
      pomegranate peel adsorbent could be described more favorably by 
      pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Column studies were also undertaken in order to 
      test the practical utility of prepared adsorbent and found promising. After the 
      adsorption studies, the phenol-laden adsorbent was stabilized in cement for its 
      ultimate disposal. The results of the present study clearly reveal that prepared 
      adsorbent can be used beneficially in treating industrial effluents containing 
      phenols and safely disposed of by stabilizing into cement.
