Abstract
The Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) discharged during the aerobic treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) was used to produce a low cost adsorbent for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution. This study employed a continuous process in a column packed with WAS as the adsorbent. The adsorption data fits Thomas and Yoon-Nelson model better compared to Adam’s-Bohart model under various conditions. The highest uptake capacity, qe, was obtained when a 6 cm bed depth was used at an inlet concentration of 100 mg/L and a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min.
