Activated residual Dodonaea Viscosa (ARDV) was synthesized through a simple chemical activation process and used as a cost-effective adsorbent for removing methyl green molecules (MG) from water. The ARDV was characterized and its adsorption properties were examined using batch method. Langmuir and PSO model fit well with the adsorption isotherms and kinetics data, and the maximum sorption capacity for MG was determined to be 99 mg/g at 60 degrees C. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of MG on ARDV was endothermic and spontaneous. ARDV proved to be an inexpensive and effective bio-adsorbent for treating polluted water contaminated with MG.
In this study, activated residual Dodonaea Viscosa (ARDV) was synthesized by the simple chemical activation process as a cost-effective and sustainable adsorbent for the efficient elimination of methyl green molecule (MG) from water. The prepared ARDV was characterized by TGA, SEM, EDX, FTIR, and BET surface area analysis. The adsorption properties and mechanisms toward MG were examined using the batch method. The optimal conditions for adsorption of Pb(II) were pH= 6.6, [ARDV] =0.1 g, time=180 min, and temperature= 65 degrees C. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics study was conducted and the resulting data fitted well with Langmuir and PSO model. The maximum sorption capacity of 99 mg/g was obtained from Langmuir isotherm for MG at 60 degrees C. According to thermodynamic parameters, the adsorption of MG on ARDV was endothermic and spontaneous. Hence, it could be concluded that ARDV is an inexpensive and effective bio-adsorbent for the removal of MG from polluted water.
