Abstract
The potential of Mangifera Indica fruit peel (MIFP) as an inexpensive adsorbent
for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye was examined in the current study. To
determine the several parameters such as contact duration, initial dye concentration,
adsorbent dose, pH and temperature, influenced adsorption, batch adsorption experiments
were carried out. It was found that pseudo-second order kinetics worked best. The
Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models were used to assess the experimental
results.
The Langmuir isotherm adsorption isotherm was discovered to have the maximum adsorption
capacity for monolayer coverage and it was determined best to describe the data,
Results suggest that MIFP is a very effective low cost adsorbent for the removal
of dyes from wastewater.
