Abstract

In this study treatment of the textile wastewater by color removal using adsorbent (Palmyra sprout peel and Moringa oleifera peel) is done. This study collects information to discharge color using adsorbent (Palmyra sprout peel and Moringa oleifera peel) which acts as an effective adsorbent. Both the adsorbent Palmyra sprout peel and Moringa oleifera peel are low-cost adsorbent. Moringa oleifera peel is readily available for use, Palmyra sprout peel has seasonal availability. A series of batch experiment was carried out to determine the optimum dosage for color removal using various adsorbent dosage (4 - 12g/lit), and optimum contact time 120 minutes. The efficiency of the color removal was calculated by subtracting initial concentration and final concentration. The pH was varied from 10 to 2 and the color removal rates was found to be from 25% to 93%. Lower pH conditions have increased color removal rate for textile wastewater. Key Words: adsorption, Palmyra sprout peel, Moringa oleifera peel, Reactive black dye (RB5), and dye removal.
