Adsorption of Methyl Violet Dye from Aqueous Solutions by Activated Carbon Produced from Tamarind Seeds

Abstract:

The present work proposes the adsorption of methyl violet (MV) from two solution systems including single MV and binary MV-Cu²⁺ systems by activated carbon (AC) prepared from tamarind seeds in a batch system. Parameters including contact time, solution pH, adsorbent dose, and initial dye concentration were studied. The morphology of the AC was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed the maximum adsorption of MV dye onto the AC at a contact time of 60 min, solution pH of 9.0 and adsorbent dose of 0.2 and 0.5 g for the single and binary solution systems, respectively. The presence of copper ions in binary solution system decreased the adsorption efficiency of MV dye onto the AC. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms.
