BIOSORPTION OF METHYLENE BLUE DYE FROM WASTE WATER USING MODIFIED CHICKPEA HUSK AS AN ADSORBENT

Abstract

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 theadsorbent’s proper mechanism and performance. Langmuir adsorption isotherm found to have themaximum adsorption potential of 200 mg/g.
