The performance of native eggshell membrane in removing of Congo Red (CR) from aqueous solution was investigated. The effect of pH, adsorbent concentration, temperature, and contact time were performed by static testing. The maximum biosorption was both observed at pH 7.0 on the eggshell membrane. Optimal adsorption capacity (112.3 mg g-1) at initial concentration 10 mg L-1 and rate (99.17%) was obtained at pH 6.8. Characterization of the bioSuperscript textsorbent eggshell membrane was performed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The kinetic and equilibrium studies suggest that the adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm model. |
