Adsorption of Dye from Aqueous Solution by Palm Leaves

Abstract:

In this study, the palm leaves powder was used as adsorbent for the removal of rhodamine B (RhB) from aqueous solutions. The effects of initial RhB concentrations, adsorbent dosage, initial solution pH and contact time on the amount of color removal was investigated. Batch kinetics and isotherm studies were conducted to evaluate the adsorption behavior of the palm leaves powder. TheLangmuir and Freundlich isotherm model were used to describe the equilibria data. Further, the kinetics involved in the sorption process was evaluated at different initial RhB concentrations.
