The adsorption of methylene blue dye in aqueous solution on low cost adsorbent, prepared from barks of Moringa oleifera, was studied. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms have been reported. The effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial dye concentration on adsorption process was investigated. The adsorption equilibrium data fitted both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equally well. Experiment was done using batch process.

Abstract


The adsorption of methylene blue dye in aqueous solution on low cost adsorbent, prepared from barks of Moringa oleifera, was studied. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms have been reported. The effect of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose and initial dye concentration on adsorption process was investigated. The adsorption equilibrium data fitted both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equally well. Experiment was done using batch process.
