Abstract:This work investigates the removal of reactive black 5 (RB5) dye from textile wastewater, which poses significant environmental hazards, using kaolin filter cake (KFC), a new, affordable, and environmentally friendly adsorbent. The effectiveness of KFC's decolorization was assessed by adsorption tests that looked at batch process variables, such as pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and beginning dye concentration. FTIR, SEM, XRD, and BET techniques described the adsorbent's morphological and physicochemical … Show more
