ADSORPTION BEHAVIOUR OF METHYLENE BLUE DYE ON EGGSHELL EXTRACTED CHITOSAN AND CARBONIZED DATE-PITS AS ADSORBENTS

The use of low-cost, locally available and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive inefficient methods removing dyes from wastewater. This study investigates potential Eggshell extracted chitosan Carbonized Date-Pits in methylene blue dye. Effects adsorption dosage concentration were equally investigated. Langmuir Freundlich Isotherms used model experimental data. It was found that highest removal aqueous solution with a percentage 70% recorded using eggshell while at same (5 mg/L dye solution), carbonized date-pits removed 48.98% From results obtained, processes on fits reasonably well into Isotherm R2 value 0.9502 0.9904 respectively. While date-pits, values 0.934 0.046 respectively which indicates it only Isotherm. result shows both waste materials can effectively be for However, gave best fit processes.
