Preparation of Corncob-Based Bio-Char and its Application in Removing Basic Dyes from Aqueous Solution

Abstract:

This study presents the preparation of corncob-based bio-char and its application in adsorptive removal of three basic dyes (methylene blue, crystal violet and basic fuchsin) from aqueous solution. The adsorption behavior of basic dyes on bio-char was investigated via batch experiments. Experimental results showed that the adsorption efficiency of bio-char increased with increasing solution pH and temperature. Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption. The dye removal process fitted the Langmuir isotherm well. The adsorption capacity of bio-char for methylene blue, crystal Violet and basic fuchsin at 25°C was calculated to be 126.58, 81.96 and 75.18 mg/g, respectively.
