METHYLENE BLUE REMOVAL USING A LOW–COST ACTIVATED CARBON ADSORBENT FROM MIMUSOPS ELENGI

Abstract

The present study deals with the removal of Methylene blue from aqueous solution using a low-cost activated carbon prepared from fruits of Mimusops Elengi. Batch adsorption studies were conducted by varying the initial concentration of the adsorbate, adsorbent dosage, contact time and pH. The experimental adsorption data obtained in this study fitted with Lagergren, Intra-particle kinetic equations and as well as Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms.
