BALANCE, KINETICS, ISOTHERM AND THERMODYNAMIC MODELING OF ADSORPTION OF REACTIVE ORANGE 7ON TO BALSAMODENDRONCAUDATUM WOOD SQUANDER ACTIVATED CARBON MATERIAL

Abstract :

Balsamodendron caudatum wood waste activated carbon (BACM) has the potential to take up the dyes from aqueous solution. The inappropriate discarding of dyes in waste water constitutes an environmental problem and can cause harm to the flora and fauna. Present examination deals with the exploitation of (BACM) waste as adsorbent for the elimination of Reactive Orange 7dye from its aqueous solutions. The treated (BACM) using sodium sulphate was evaluated through SEM and XRD.The analysis indicates that adsorption is inclined by initial dye concentration, contact time, dye solution pH.A Kinetic study of dye followed the pseudo–first–order, pseudo second–order and Elovich models correspondingly. Conclusions show that the pseudo first order kinetic model was found to compare the investigational data fit.
