The discharge of dyes is one of the major water pollution which can cause severe damage to both human beings and animal. Hence, the need for treatment of wastewater containing dyes. This research was aimed at finding out the potential of beans husk as a viable adsorbent for treatment of dye-containing wastewater.The bean husk potential adsorbent was washed, dried and sieved. It was then characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIR), Energy dispersive spectrophotometry (EDS).The adsorbent prepared has several pores, with functional group like O-H, S-H, C=C and C=O for the bond formation between the adsorbent and the dyes. The carbon and carbon compounds-content of bean husk is very high (100% CK). The bean husk is suitable as an adsorbent for the decolurization of textile wastewater. And has a potential of being effective for wastewater treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
