The work was investigated for the removal of Rhodamine B dye from an aqueous solution by the application of Chloroxylon Swietenia Activated Carbon (CSAC), which is obtained from Chloroxylon Swietenia tree barks because it’s harder and widely used for agricultural tools, timber, construction, and boat building. For the experimental methods, batch mode adsorption was used. The following operational parameters were followed: initial dye concentration, pH, and temperature for the adsorption of Rhodamine B dye. The adsorption equilibrium was attained after 75 minutes. The removal percentage of Rhodamine B dye was mainly dependent on the initial concentration of the dye solution. Three different adsorption isotherm models were used to calculate the equilibrium adsorption data. The diffusion of Rh-B dye inside the new formation of active sites occurred at maximum temperature, which predicted that the adsorption would be an endothermic reaction. The characteristics of CSAC were evaluated by SEM and FTIR spectroscopy.
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.
