Abstract
The preparation of activated carbon from Aegle Marmelos fruits shell, a biomass solid waste, required the use of three distinct acids as an activator. For the purpose of removing the cationic dye methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution, the activated carbon that had been treated with sulphuric acid served as the best low-cost adsorbent. Variations in adsorbent dose (0.1–1g/L), initial dye concentration (50–250 mg/L), and contact time (10–60 min) were used to evaluate MB adsorption from an aqueous solution under equilibrium and kinetic conditions in batch mode. The Freundlich model did not fit the equilibrium data as well as the Langmuir isotherm model did. Compared to hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid-treated carbon had the highest adsorption capacity. The pseudo-second order (PSO) kinetic gave a good description of the results of the kinetic uptake.
