The study found that desiccated coconut waste performed well as an adsorbent precursor for the removal of azo dyes, particularly Congo Red dye, in wastewater. The results suggest that coconut waste-based adsorbent has a high potential for application in removing Congo Red dye in wastewater.
This study measures and evaluates the capabilities of desiccated coconut waste, a waste by-product produced from coconut milk processing, as an adsorbent precursor for the removal of azo dyes in wastewater. The results show that the desiccated coconut waste performed the highest adsorption capacity towards the Congo Red dye in pH 2 condition where the Q(max) = 0.071 mmol/g. The adsorption capacity of the coconut waste-based adsorbent is relatively high in azo dye removal among the tested waste precursors such as coir pith, tamarind fruit shells, hazelnut shells, and banana peel. The analysis of azo dye adsorption equilibrium and kinetics using appropriate isotherm and kinetic model shows excellent fitting with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, where the determination coefficient, R-2 approximate to 1, indicates a monolayer chemical adsorption process, with a maximum monolayer capacity of 0.004 mmol/g. These findings support that coconut waste-based adsorbent is highly potential for application of Congo Red removal in wastewater.
