Methylene Blue Removal from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption on Nitric Acid Modified Water Treatment Sludge

Abstract:

Nitric acid modified water treatment sludge (NS) was used as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solution in a batch experiment system. Surface area and pore volume were characterized by BET-N₂ method. Zeta potential measurements of the NS showed a negatively charge which has the potential to attract positively charged molecules. The effect of initial MB concentration and initial pH solution were investigated. When the initial MB concentration was increased, the percentage of MB removal decreased accordingly while the amount of adsorbed MB on NS at equilibrium time (q_e) increased. For the effect of initial pH solution, the adsorption of MB was increased with increase in pH. The maximum removal was observed at pH 11. The result indicates that NS can be used as low cost adsorbent in wastewater treatment for cationic dye removal.
