Concept:
Decolourisation of dye spent liquor is an important environmental treatment process in textile wet processing industries. It involves removal of residual dye from wastewater using low-cost adsorbents or industrial waste materials.
Step 1: Understand requirement.
Spent dye liquor contains:
• Unfixed dyes
• Auxiliaries
• Color pollutants
Step 2: Evaluate options.
• Sand → filtration medium, not effective adsorbent
• Carbon black → not used for wastewater treatment
• Husk → limited adsorption capacity
• Fly ash → rich in porous structure and widely used adsorbent
Step 3: Reason for fly ash use.
Fly ash is:
• Highly porous
• Low-cost industrial waste
• Effective adsorbent for dye removal
Step 4: Final conclusion.
\[
\boxed{\text{Fly Ash}}
\]
Thus,
\[
\boxed{\text{Option (B) is correct.}}
\]
