Adsorption of Melachite Green (MG) Dye from Waste Water by Chemically Treated Activated Carbon
摘要
In this study, the utilization of chemically modified activated carbon (AC) was investigated for malachite green (MG) dye extraction at various dye solution concentrations (50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 150 mg/L, and 200 mg/L). The experimental variables were temperature (298 K, 308 K, and 318 K), adsorbent dose (10 g/L to 20 g/L), contact time, and pH of the starting solution (ranging from 2 to 7). The outcomes demonstrated that adsorption worked best at lower temperatures and higher pH values. Other models, though, might have been applied. The optimal adsorbent dose was found to be 20 g/L, and the maximum adsorption efficacy was recorded at pH 7.0.
