BIOSORPTION OF METHYLENE BLUE DYE FROM WASTEWATERUSING MODIFIED CHICKPEA HUSK AS AN ADSORBENTSONIA RANI, JYOTI RANI, ANITA SINGH, NARESH KUMAR, SUDESH CHAUDHARYAbstract The purpose of this study was to extract activated carbons by chemical activation from chickpeahusks (H2SO4) and to investigate the adsorbent potential for removing dye from aqueous solutions.SEM and FTIR techniques were initially defined as adsorbent. The experimental data wereevaluated to optimize the initial ion concentration, pH, contact time and adsorbent dose of thedifferent parameters. Various kinetic models and isotherm adsorption were used to illustrate theadsorbentâs proper mechanism and performance. Langmuir adsorption isotherm found to have themaximum adsorption potential of 200 mg/g. |
