This study evaluated the potential application of a biomass material, corncob lignocellulose (CL), as a novel adsorbent for the removal of basic dyes from aqueous solutions. The adsorption behavior and mechanism of basic dyes on CL was investigated via batch experiments. Both adsorption and desorption studies showed that the attachment of basic dyes onto CL was ascribed to a combined interaction involving electrostatic attraction and chemisorption. The decolorization efficiency of CL increased with increasing solution pH and temperature. Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption. The dye uptake process was best described by the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption capacity of CL for Methylene blue, Crystal Violet and Malachite Green at 30°C was calculated to be 145.8, 121.8 and 65.7 mg/g, respectively.

This study presents the preparation of corncob-based bio-char and its application in adsorptive removal of three basic dyes (methylene blue, crystal violet and basic fuchsin) from aqueous solution. The adsorption behavior of basic dyes on bio-char was investigated via batch experiments. Experimental results showed that the adsorption efficiency of bio-char increased with increasing solution pH and temperature. Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption. The dye removal process fitted the Langmuir isotherm well. The adsorption capacity of bio-char for methylene blue, crystal Violet and basic fuchsin at 25°C was calculated to be 126.58, 81.96 and 75.18 mg/g, respectively.

Eucalyptus camdulensis biochar (Ec-bio) was used to adsorb crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB) dyes, which was optimized and further evaluated using different isotherm and kinetic models. Microscopy and spectroscopy techniques showed the interactions of the dyes with the surface functional groups of the Ec-bio, resulting in the removal of the dyes from aqueous solution. Both dyes were immediately uptaken, with equilibrium reached in 60 min, with a higher sorption efficiency of CV compared to MB. Thermodynamic parameters showed endothermic adsorption and the nonspontaneous adsorption of both dyes onto the Ec-bio. Both the adsorption capacity and percentage removal increased with the increasing solution pH from 2.0 to 4.0 and to 10 for CV and MB. An increase in adsorption capacity was observed upon increasing the initial concentrations, with a corresponding decrease in the percentage removal. The pseudo-second-order (PSO) and Elovich kinetic models (nonlinear approach) were a good fit to the data of both dyes, confirming a chemisorptive adsorption process. The Langmuir isotherm fitted well to the CV data, supporting its monolayer adsorption onto the Ec-bio, while the Freundlich isotherm was a good fit to the MB dye data, suggesting the surface heterogeneity of the Ec-bio. The Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm was a good fit to the adsorption CV data compared with the MB dye, suggesting the physisorption of both dyes onto the Ec-bio due to its mean free energy of adsorption of <8 kJ mol−1.

Water is the most crucial thing to mankind and so its contamination by various agencies is posing a threat to the natural balance. So, in the present work, the efficiency of various adsorbents derived from plant waste, to remove different dyes from aqueous solution was evaluated. Parameters for study were contact time, concentration and pH. Various combinations of plant ashes were used for the study. It was found that adsorbent prepared from the combination of orange peels, pomegranate and banana peels ashes, exhibited good adsorption capacity for methylene blue, congo red and crystal violet. All these dyes were completely removed from the aqueous solution while methyl orange was not removed. Congo red was removed completely within 40 min of contact with the adsorbent while methyl orange took 3 hrs to be removed to the extent of 48% only. The adsorption coefficient of congo red was found to be 2.33 while value for methylene blue and crystal violet was 1 and 1.66 respectively. The characterization of adsorbent was done by Scanning Electron Microscopy and IR spectroscopy. SEM image revealed the surface of adsorbent to be made of differential pores. From the results it became evident that the low-cost adsorbent could be used as a replacement for costly traditional methods of removing colorants from water.

In this paper, the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by biosorption ontoapricot shellshas been investigated through batch experiments. Apricot shells were chosen as alocally available and abundant waste from fruit juice industry. Methylene blue is common pollutantof waste waters from textile industry.The influence of initial MB concentration on biosorption process has been studied. Theexperimental data have been analysed using Langmuir and Freundlichisotherm models. TheLangmuir model better fits to experimental data, which explain monolayer adsorption. Maximumbiosorption capacity is 24,31 mg/g. A comparison of the biosorption capacity of waste apricot shellswith biosorption capacities of similar adsorbents previously investigated indicates that apricotshells could be a promising biosorbent for removal of MB from aqueous solution.
