A Study of the Removal of Pollutants Dyes from Aqueous Solution by Highly Active Low Cost Biosorbents
This research aims to remove the toxic and dangerous Eosin B (EB) dye by using one of the adsorption processes based on environmentally friendly surfaces prepared in a natural way without chemical activation as low-cost agricultural waste, like pomegranate peels, banana peels, clove sticks and eggshells. Several factors were used that affect the adsorption process. These materials have several advantages such as eco-friendly and having a high surface area to enhance the removal of pollutants. The studied parameter includes the contact time of an equilibrium EB dye which was achieved within 60 min, effect of different initial concentrations of EB dye (10-60 mg/L). The concentration of EB dye was found to increase with the adsorption efficiency (Qe mg/g) while the removal percentage E% decreased, whereas effect of adsorbents dosage was found to increase when the removal percentage (E%) of Eosin B dye increased from 45.55-88.99%, 40.67-82.23% (32.21-77.32%), and (25.34-75.22%). However, the adsorption capacity decreased from 95.66 to 43.43 mg/g, 92.34 to 40.11 mg/g, 90.32 to 37.11mg/g and 91.22-40.3 mg/g when the mass adsorbents of pomegranate peels, banana peels, clove sticks, and egg shells increased from 0.025 to 2 gm in the same order. Also, adsorption isotherms were studied and they obeyed the Freundlich isotherm models.
