Enhancing adsorption capacity of toxic malachite green dye through chemically modified breadnut peel: equilibrium, thermodynamics, kinetics and regeneration studies

Abstract: Breadnut skin, in both its unmodified (KS) and base-modified (BM-KS) forms, was investigated for its potential use as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of toxic dye, malachite green (MG). Characterization of the adsorbents was carried out using scanning electron microscope, X-ray fluorescence and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. Batch adsorption experiments, carried out under optimized conditions, for the adsorption of MG were fitted using five isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushk… Show more

“…3 Dye-bearing effluents are one of the most significant contributors from the textile field and such effluents have a wide detrimental impact on the human health. 4,5 It has been estimated that annually 7 × 10 5 metric ton of different commercial dyes and pigments are being produced globally, and of which 5-10% are being lost and discharged into the wastewater in the form of industrial effluents. 6,7 Among them azo dyes are the one most widely used and accounts 65-70% of the total dyes produced.…”

“…The maximum absorption ability for congo dye was found to be 61.12 and 120.62 mg/g for inactivated and KOH + microwave heated guava fruit husk. The utilization of ash gourd (defatted) husk in biosorption of chromium was reported [87]. The BET surface area of powder was found to be 0.4854 m 2 /g.…”
