Spent tea leaves (STL), a valueless waste produced during the manufacturing of tea beverages, were investigated as a potential low-cost adsorbent for the removal of the azo dyes Reactive Blue 19 (RB19), Reactive Red 120 (RR 120), Reactive Violet 5 (RV5) and Reactive Green 19 (R19) from wastewater. Untreated STL showed very low removal efficiency (< 7%), while a significant increase in dye adsorption was observed when they were thermally activated. Heating STL to 300 °C for 1 hour resulted in removal efficiencies ranging from 68.5 to 98.4%. Characterization of the waste by FTIR and TG/DTA indicated that major structural and/or chemical changes of the cellulose and hemicellulose components of STL occurred during heating.

Dyes Removal

This study explored the low-cost adsorbent of orange peel and spent tea leave for Methylene Blue (MB) and Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) dyes removal from aqueous solutions. The removal rate and adsorption capacity on the adsorption of dyes were investigated using the batch adsorption study. The present study indicates that the MB was easier to remove by both orange peel and spent tea leave compared to RBBR with percentage removal of 95.72 % and 99.02 % respectively. The effects of morphology, functional groups, and surface area of adsorbents were investigated by using FESEM, FTIR, and BET. The result proved that orange peel and spent tea leave were promising material as an alternative adsorbent for the removal of MB from aqueous solution.

Abstract We analyzed the effects of pyrolysis temperature and duration on the physiochemical properties and Cd(II) adsorption capacity of spent tea leaves (STL) biochar. The STL biochar was produced by pyrolysis at 300, 400, 500 and 600 °C for 1 and 2 h. The pyrolysis temperature was positively correlated to the ash content, pH, electrical conductivity, specific surface area (SBET), pore volume (PV) and C content, and negatively with the total yield, O, H and N content, and the O/C and H/C atomic ratios. Furthermore, the surface porosity of STL biochar increased, the density of oxygen-containing functional groups decreased, and the formation of aromatic structures was enhanced at higher pyrolysis temperatures. The adsorption of Cd(II) onto STL biochar fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherms model. The STL biochar produced at 600 °C for 2 h showed the maximum Cd(II) adsorption capacity of 97.415 mg/g. In addition, Cd(II) adsorption was mainly physical and occurred in monolayers. Thus, STL biochar is a suitable low-cost adsorbent for wastewater treatment.
