Kinetic Studies of Yam Peel As Efficient Adsorbent For Dye Removal From Aqueous Solutions:- Owa, Sylvia C.
ABSTRACT
The potential feasibility of activated yam
peel (YP) to remove methylene blue from aqueous solution was evaluated in a
batch process. Experiments were carried out as functions of contact time,
initial concentration (20-250mg/L), pH (4-12), and temperature (303, 313, 323,
333 and 343K). The kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-first order and
pseudo-second order models. The pseudo-second order model with R2 of (1)
provided a better description for the adsorption process than the first order.
The results indicated that yam peel could be an alternative for more costly
adsorbents used for dye removal.
