Brilliant green is a synthetic and toxic dye that is currently being utilized for various purposes, such as dying paper, leather, wool, and silk. The present study demonstrates the activated carbon preparation from waste banana peels as well as its usefulness to remove cationic dye brilliant green from aqueous medium. The dye removal was examined under a set of diverse conditions. The obtained results indicate that dye adsorption was maximum after 60 min of contact time. The removal of brilliant green dye enhances due to a rise in adsorbent dosage and becomes quantitative at 15 min of adsorbent dose. At a pH of 2, the uptake of dye by adsorbent was maximum, which decreases with the rise in pH. Langmuir isotherm was slightly better fitted than Freundlich model at varying temperatures. The experimental value of adsorption capacity was > 900 mg/g, which was observed quite close with pseudo-second-order model for brilliant green adsorption on the prepared adsorbent based on banana peel. Thermodynamic studies suggested exothermic, spontaneous, and favorable adsorption process for brilliant green dye. The adsorbent prepared in the present study can be incorporated for the treatment of wastewater contaminated with brilliant green as well as other toxic pollutants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
