Abstract
Methyl orange (MO) dye was removed using Amberlite XAD-2 resin modified by wet impregnation method with Aliquat-336. The modified resin was characterized by FTIR, FE-SEM, SEM with EDX, and pH of zero charge. Experimental parameters such as time, initial dye concentration, pH, temperature, resin dose and presence of NaCl salt affecting the adsorption rate were studied. 2 g.L −1 of resin was found to be optimum for 20 mg.L −1 MO dye. A maximum of 40.93 mg dye was removed per gram of resin. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms were used to predict the equilibrium points at four temperatures. Pseudo-second-order fitted the kinetic data ( R 2 = 0.982). The resin could be reused for five successive cycles effectively. Also, the prepared resin was used for the removal of a cationic dye, rhodamine-B and an industrial dye, Pink S8EB.
