Adsorption studies of methyl orange dye removal from aqueous solution using Anchote peel-based agricultural waste adsorbent

Abstract A low-cost locally available agricultural waste-based Anchote peel adsorbent was studied to remove the methyl orange (MO) dye from wastewater which created at laboratory conditions. The characterized by Fourier infrared and x-ray powder diffraction spectroscopic techniques. adsorption capacity of proposed investigated using batch method. best performance achieved after careful optimization experimental parameters such as dose (0.4 g), initial concentration (70 mg/L), contact time (140 min), pH solution (8.0), temperature (40 °C), respectively. removal MO water anchote a efficiency 94.47% following pseudo-second-order kinetic model, Freundlich isotherm, chemisorption mechanism, showed heterogeneous surfaces thermodynamically spontaneous. Furthermore, present results reveal that is promising in future for organic dyes other contaminants like toxic heavy metals wastewater.
