摘要:In the present work, Saccharum bengalense (SB) was treated with sulfuric acid to enhance its efficiency. Methyl violet (MV), a cationic dye, was removed from aqueous medium using acid modified S. bengalense (A-SB). Different parameters like adsorbent dosage, stirring speed, temperature, contact time and effect of initial concentration of dye on rate of adsorption of dye from aqueous medium was studied. Experimental data obtained from adsorption of MV was analyzed by applying pseudo first order, pseudo second order and intra-particle diffusion models and it was found that the data best follows the pseudosecond order kinetics. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that adsorption reaction was spontaneous, feasible and endothermic in nature. Different adsorption isotherm models, like Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) and Temkin, were used to study the mechanism of adsorption process and experimental data was well fitted by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
