Abstract

Batch adsorption studies were carried out using H2SO4 modified sugarcane bagasse (HMSB) for the removal of hazardous Crystal Violet (CV) dye from aqueous solutions. The effects of initial solution pH, adsorbent dose, and temperature on the adsorption process were investigated. The Langmuir isotherm model well described the equilibrium dye uptake while the pseudo-second-order kinetic model showed good agreement with the experimental kinetic data. Gibb's free energy change (ΔG0) was spontaneous for all interactions, and the adsorption process exhibited endothermic enthalpy values. Results suggest that HMSB is an effective adsorbent for the removal of CV from wastewater.
