The adsorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to examine surface morphology and functional groups involved in adsorption. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, and initial SDS concentration. Optimal adsorption conditions were identified at pH 8, initial concentration of 20 mg/L, adsorbent dosage of 0.02 g/50 mL, and contact time of 60 min, yielding a maximum adsorption capacity of 64.93 mg/g. Adsorption equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating monolayer adsorption, while kinetic analysis showed good agreement with the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting chemisorption as the dominant mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters revealed a negative Gibbs free energy change, confirming the spontaneous nature of the adsorption process. Regeneration studies demonstrated that the adsorbent retained appreciable performance over multiple cycles, indicating its potential for reuse.
